Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has finished fourth in the final ranking for the 2025 Women’s Yashin Trophy, the award presented during the Ballon d’Or ceremony to the world’s best female goalkeeper.

Chelsea and England shot-stopper Hannah Hampton won the accolade, edging out top contenders on a night that celebrated elite talent in women’s football.

Final ranking

Hampton topped the list ahead of Gotham FC’s Ann-Katrin Berger in second and Barcelona’s Cata Coll in third. Arsenal’s Dutch international Daphne van Domselaar rounded off the top five.

Nnadozie’s recognition showed her continued rise in the global game.

Outstanding year for club and country

The Nigerian international had a standout year, helping the Super Falcons clinch their 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title in Morocco, where she kept four clean sheets and conceded only twice in open play.

At club level, she became the first Nigerian goalkeeper to feature in the English Women’s Super League after sealing a move to Brighton & Hove Albion.

She previously won the 2024 UNFP Goalkeeper of the Season award at Paris FC and lifted the Coupe de France Féminine, making decisive penalty saves in the final.
