Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has been shortlisted for the 2025 Women’s Yachine Trophy — the prestigious Ballon d’Or award recognising the best female goalkeeper in the world.
The 24-year-old recently completed a move to Brighton Women FC from Paris FC, where she played a key role in the club’s historic 2025 Coupe de France Féminine triumph — their first major title in nearly 20 years. Nnadozie was the standout performer in the final, helping Paris FC defeat Paris Saint-Germain 5-4 on penalties after a goalless draw at Stade de l’Épopée in Calais.
She also played a pivotal role in Nigeria’s victorious campaign at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), as the Super Falcons clinched a record 10th continental title by defeating hosts Morocco. Her performances earned her the Best Goalkeeper award and a spot in the Team of the Tournament.
Other nominees for the Yachine Trophy include Ann-Katrin Berger (Gotham FC), Cata Coll (Barcelona Femeni), Hannah Hampton (Chelsea Women), and Daphne van Domselaar (Arsenal Women).
