Nigeria’s Chiamaka Nnadozie has etched her name in the history books as she has successfully retained the Goalkeeper of the Year (Women) award at the CAF Awards.
The talented shot-stopper claimed the top prize for the second year running, beating out stiff competition from Andile Dlamini of South Africa and Khadija Er-Rmichi.
Nnadozie’s impressive year has been marked by several milestones, including helping Nigeria qualify for the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament after a 16-year absence.
She was also instrumental in the Super Falcons’ qualification for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations and drew widespread acclaim for her performances with French club Paris FC.
The soft-spoken goalkeeper is also in contention for the Women’s Player of the Year award, alongside Moroccan Sanâa Mssoudy and Zambian Barbra Banda.
Nnadozie’s achievement is a significant boost to Nigerian football, which has enjoyed a remarkable year.
