The Nigerian international goalkeeper, CHIAMAKA NNADOZIE, has etched her name in the history books by becoming the first African and Nigerian player to be crowned the best goalkeeper in the French D1 Arkema (women’s league).

The 23-year-old shot-stopper’s remarkable achievements this season, including her penalty-saving heroics, cemented her status as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

She beat out stiff competition from Olympic Lyon’s CHRISTIANE ENDLER and KATARZYNA KIEDRZYNEK of Paris Saint-German to claim the coveted individual accolade.

NNADOZIE was also awarded CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year in 2023.
