Nigerian striker Victor Boniface turns 25 today, marking a birthday that comes at a reflective moment in his career as both club and country navigate important phases without him at the centre, Softfootball reports.
Boniface rose to prominence through his physical presence, sharp movement, and eye for goal, earning a move to Bayer Leverkusen where he played a key role in one of the most successful periods in the club's history. During his time in Germany, the striker recorded over 30 goals across all competitions, contributing significantly to Leverkusen's domestic success and establishing himself as one of Nigeria's most promising forwards.
However, the past year has been challenging. Injury setbacks and inconsistent performances meant Boniface was left out of Nigeria's squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. As the Super Eagles begin their group-stage campaign today against Tanzania , the striker watches on, determined to work his way back into contention.
