Chiamaka Nnadozie has clinched the title of the best goalkeeper in the French D1 Arkema women’s league, becoming the first African, particularly Nigerian, to attain this prestigious individual accolade.
The 23-year-old shot-stopper outshone her counterparts, including Olympic Lyon’s Christiane Endler and Paris SG’s Katarzyna Kiedrzynek, to claim the award. Nnadozie’s exceptional penalty-saving abilities stood out, with a remarkable tally of seven penalty saves this season, the highest in Europe.
Paris FC president, Pierre Ferracci, lauded Nnadozie’s deserving win, highlighting her exceptional performances in the Champions League and beyond. Despite Paris FC’s third-place position in the league standings, Nnadozie’s stellar contributions have been instrumental to their success, earning her admiration and accolades from fans and football pundits alike.
As speculation swirls about potential suitors vying for her signature, Paris FC remains hopeful of retaining Nnadozie’s services, recognizing her invaluable impact on the team’s fortunes.
