Super Falcons goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, has earned a nomination for the 2025 Women’s Yachine Trophy—an accolade under the Ballon d’Or awards recognizing the world’s best female goalkeeper.
The 24-year-old recently signed with Brighton Women FC following a stellar spell at Paris FC, where she played a crucial role in helping the club secure their first major silverware in nearly 20 years. Her heroics in the 2025 Coupe de France Féminine final, where Paris FC defeated Paris Saint-Germain 5-4 on penalties after a goalless draw, were key to the historic win.
Nnadozie also played a vital part in Nigeria’s triumph at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), as the Super Falcons claimed a record 10th title against hosts Morocco. Her performances earned her the Best Goalkeeper award and a spot in the Team of the Tournament.
Other contenders for the prestigious Yachine Trophy include Ann-Katrin Berger (Gotham FC), Cata Coll (Barcelona Femeni), Hannah Hampton (Chelsea Women), and Daphne van Domselaar (Arsenal Women).
