Chiamaka Nnadozie has etched her name in history as she emerges as the best goalkeeper in the French D1 Arkema, the women’s league in France.
Nnadozie is the first African, particularly Nigerian, to clinch this prestigious award, writing her name among one of the premier goalkeepers in the world.
The 23-year-old’s outstanding performances saw her surpass renowned goalkeepers like Olympic Lyon’s Christiane Endler and Paris SG’s Katarzyna Kiedrzynek to claim the coveted award. Nnadozie remarkably saved seven penalties which is the currently highest tally in Europe.
Paris FC president, Pierre Ferracci remarked Nnadozie’s achievement as very pleasing at the ceremony. He said she deserved it because she achieved an exceptional Champions League and not only on penalties. He assured that she will be courted this summer.
Paris FC are third in the league with 42 points, eight points behind Paris Saint-Germain, their local rivals, and a further 11 points away from Lyon, the league leaders.
