Nigerian women’s national team goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has been outstanding in the course of the past one year.

The Paris FC of France goalkeeper has been receiving awards for her excellence between the sticks.

Barely six months after being crowned the Best African Women’s Goalkeeper in the CAF Awards, she has gone on to be named the Best Female Goalkeeper in France.

Reacting to the achievement, Nnadozie said:

“I’m incredibly grateful and humbled by this award…Thanks to the organisers for recognizing my efforts and presenting this prestigious award to me.

“A big thanks to Paris FC Feminine, the club president, the entire team staff , the fans and my wonderful teammates. Your belief in me and my work is a tremendous source of motivation.

“Receiving this award is truly humbling, and I am immensely thankful for the recognition.
Your support means the world to me.
“Can’t thank my family enough for their prayers and support. My naija Giants, Una pikin Dey loyal, big love,” she concluded.

Apart from winning the award, she was also winner of the French D1 Arkema Goalkeeper of the Year award.

Chiamaka made remarkable saves during the last FIFA Women’s World Cup including stopping a penalty against Canada in Nigeria’s first game at the global showpiece.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria were knocked out in the Round of 16, but Nnadozie announced her presence to the world during the tournament.

She made a  number of saves in the French Women’s Football League and it is hardly surprising that she was awarded the best.

The Nigerian women’s national team will be heading to the Olympic Games in Paris, a terrain that she is familiar with and fans are counting on her goalkeeping prowess for a possible medal win for Team Nigeria.
