Nigeria’s Chiamaka Nnadozie has been named the Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year for the second consecutive year at the 2024 CAF Awards in Marrakech, Morocco.

The 27-year-old goalkeeper earned the honor after an outstanding season with French club Paris FC, where she was also recognized as the Première Ligue Goalkeeper of the Season for 2023-24.

Nnadozie’s exceptional performances were key to Paris FC’s strong season, and her consistent displays in goal continued to make her one of the top shot-stoppers in European women’s football.

Nnadozie’s rise to prominence began with Nigeria’s national team, where she has been a vital part of the Super Falcons for several years.

She played a crucial role in their 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup campaign, helping them reach the Round of 16.

Her saves against top teams like Canada and Australia was one of her standout performances, solidifying her reputation on the international stage.

“I’m incredibly honored to win this award again,” Chiamaka Nnadozie said after receiving her trophy. “It’s been a year full of challenges, but I’ve worked hard to improve every day.”

“This is not just for me, but for all the support I’ve received from my teammates and coaches.”
