Chiamaka Nnadozie has etched her name in history by becoming the first African to be crowned “Best goalkeeper” in the French D1 Women’s League.

Nnadozie’s remarkable achievement solidifies her status as one of the premier goalkeepers globally.

The Nigerian triumphed over formidable competition, outshining Olympique Lyon’s Christiane Endler and Paris Saint-Germain’s Katarzyna Kiedrzynek to claim the award.

Nnadozie saved an impressive seven penalties this season, the highest tally in all of Europe.

Paris FC President, Pierre Ferracci expressed his delight after the Nigerian emerged with the award, emphasizing her outstanding performance throughout the Champions League campaign.

“It’s very pleasing, because she deserves it and she achieved an exceptional Champions League and not only on penalties.

“She is adorable. It is deserved. We know that she will be courted this summer but we will try to keep her,” Ferracci said during the ceremony.
