SUPER Falcons goalie, Chiamaka Nnadozie, has made history as the first African, specifically Nigerian, to secure the National Union of Professional Footballers (UNFP) award for the top goalkeeper in the French women’s league.
Newsextra24 understands that Nnadozie’s exceptional performances for Paris FC during the 2023/24 season earned her this prestigious recognition.
The Nigeria international claimed the individual honour after defeating tough competition that included Christiane Endler from Olympic Lyon, Katarzyna Kiedrzynek of Paris SG, Chloe N’Gazi from FC Fleury, and Kinga Szemik from Stade de Reims.
Additionally, the 23-year-old was recently named the best goalkeeper in the French D1 Arkema (women’s league).
Nnadozie’s remarkable ability to save penalties has solidified her reputation as one of the top goalkeepers globally.
With a total of seven penalty saves this season, she holds the record for the highest number of penalty saves by any goalkeeper in Europe.
