The French international soccer player Khephren Thuram and their teammates celebrated the second goal by Nice’s team with the viral and famous dance of Cameroon football player Wilfried Nathan.
The players performed the viral dance during the match between French Professional football teams OGC Nice and RC Lens on Saturday, March 16, 2024. The OGC team scored the second goal against RC Lens and won by 3-1.
Reportedly, many players have been doing the famous Wilfried Nathan Dance ever since it went viral during the AFCON 2023 football tournament matches.
In the viral dance video of footballer Nathan, he can be seen bending his legs while moving forward and shaking his head while making some actions with his hands.
As per the increasing popularity of the dance celebration, it wouldn’t be surprising if the video was added to the EA Sports FC 25 Game which was formerly known as FIFA and similar to the Griddy Dance which was included in the game after it gained widespread attention, back in 2018.
