Simon Celebrates 200th Ligue 1 Appearance in Draw

On Sunday, Simon marked a significant career milestone by making his 200th appearance in Ligue 1 during a goalless draw between Paris FC and RC Strasbourg at Stade de la Meinau. The Nigerian winger played for 64 minutes in a tightly contested match that ended without any goals, allowing Paris FC to secure a valuable point, leaving them 13th in the league and nine points clear of the relegation zone.

Simon's landmark appearance places him in an exclusive group of Nigerian footballers who have reached such longevity in the French top division, becoming the second Nigerian after John Utaka to achieve 200 Ligue 1 appearances. Since joining Paris FC in 2025, Simon has made 23 league appearances, scoring three goals and providing two assists.

His latest milestone reflects his steady adaptation to life at Paris FC, following a successful six-year spell at FC Nantes, where he made 177 league appearances, scoring 33 goals and registering 37 assists.
