Nigerian forward Ewelike Unity continues to set French lower league football alight, as he led FC Marmande to a hard-fought 1-0 victory in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Cup final — securing their second trophy of the 2024/25 season.
The in-form striker was once again the difference-maker, scoring the decisive goal that handed Marmande the title and capped off an exceptional personal campaign.
With this latest triumph, Unity has now lifted two major honours with the French club this season, underlining his growing reputation as one of Nigeria’s most exciting prospects abroad.
The 23-year-old was clinical throughout the campaign, finishing with an impressive 23 goals and 17 assists in all competitions.
His ability to consistently deliver in high-pressure matches has earned him praise from fans and pundits alike, with calls for a potential national team look-in growing louder.
Speaking after the final whistle, Unity expressed his delight:
“I give glory to God for this moment. It’s been a tough season, but this team has heart. I’m proud to have contributed to our success.”
His match-winning strike in the final was vintage Unity — a composed finish that left the goalkeeper with no chance and sent Marmande fans into raptures.
With scouts reportedly monitoring his progress, a move to a top-tier club could be on the horizon. For now, though, Ewelike Unity remains focused on finishing the season strong and helping his side continue their fairy-tale run.
