Super Falcons and Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has been nominated for the 2025 CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year Award.
The 24-year-old Nigerian shot-stopper played a crucial role in Nigeria’s record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) triumph in 2024, where her commanding performances between the posts helped the Super Falcons reclaim continental glory.
