The club has planned various activities for fans, including a public training session on July 3, which will allow fans to meet the new manager, Franck Haise, and his staff.
The team's first two warm-up matches will be played behind closed doors on July 10 and July 19, before they kick off their Ligue 1 campaign on the weekend of August 18 with an away match against Auxerre. Their Europa League journey will begin on September 25 or 26.
Moffi's return to France marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Nigerian striker, who has been impressive for both club and country. His goals and performances have made him a fan favorite at OGC Nice, and he will be expected to play a key role in the team's quest for success in the upcoming season.
