Raphael Onyedika, a key midfielder for the Nigerian national team and Club Brugge, has been surprisingly omitted from the Team of the Season in Belgium despite his impressive performances. The selection was made by DAZN, the media rights owners of the Jupiler Pro League, who allowed viewers to choose their Dream Team.
The team consists of seven players from Club Brugge, but Onyedika is not among them. Instead, Anderlecht's Nathan Cat and Aleksandar Stankovic were chosen as the defensive midfielders. Cat has been making waves in the Belgian league and is reportedly being considered for the Nigerian national team for the 2026 World Cup.
The selection of the Team of the Season is based on fan votes, and it is unclear why Onyedika was left out despite his contributions to Club Brugge's success. The omission is likely to be a topic of discussion among Nigerian football fans and experts.
The team's defenders, midfielders, and forwards were chosen from various clubs in the Jupiler Pro League, with some notable players from Club Brugge making the cut.
Raphael Onyedika's exclusion from the Team of the Season is a major surprise, especially considering his impressive form for Club Brugge. This omission raises questions about his standing in the Belgian league and whether he is being overlooked for his outstanding performances. As a key player for the Nigerian national team, Onyedika's form will be closely watched ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
