The UNFP has announced its nominees for the Ligue 2 Player of the Month award for November, with two of the three shortlisted players hailing from Cameroon.
Jacques Siwe of En Avant Guingamp and Timothé Nkada of Rodez AF have been recognized for their exceptional form during the season.
Jacques Siwe, a 23-year-old French-Cameroonian forward, has been a consistent force for Guingamp this season.
In 13 Ligue 2 appearances, Siwe has netted seven goals and registered one assist, underlining his pivotal role in the team’s attack.

Siwe is under contract with the club until June 2026 and holds a market value of €1 million, according to Transfermarkt.
Joining him in the spotlight is Timothé Nkada, a 25-year-old striker who plays for Rodez AF.
Nkada has been even more prolific, scoring eight goals and providing three assists in 13 matches this season.
His dynamic presence on the pitch and knack for creating opportunities for his teammates have been instrumental in Rodez’s campaign.
Nkada is under contract with Rodez until June 2027, with his market value estimated at €1.5 million by Transfermarkt.
Both players’ outstanding performances highlight the rising prominence of African talent in European football, with their nominations for the Player of the Month award a testament to their skill and consistency.
As the Ligue 2 season progresses, Siwe and Nkada will aim to maintain their strong form.
Guingamp is preparing to face FC Martigues in the 15th round of Ligue 2 fixtures, a match where Siwe will look to add to his goal tally.
Meanwhile, Nkada will continue to lead the charge for Rodez in their push up the league table.
The Ligue 2 Player of the Month award celebrates the league’s standout performers, and this month’s race underscores the influence of Cameroonian players in shaping the competition.
Fans and analysts alike await the announcement of the winner, with both Siwe and Nkada strong contenders for the accolade.
