Africa’s best goalkeeper and Super Falcons star, Chiamaka Nnadozie, has once again been nominated for another top award in the French Women’s League.
The talented goalkeeper has been nominated for the prestigious Best Goalkeeper of the Year award in the French women’s league, specifically the Arkema Premier League’s Best Goalkeeper of the 2024/2025 season.
This nomination comes as no surprise for the talented goalie. Her exceptional performances last season made her triumph over Christine Endler to claim the same award.
