Nigeria’s Chiamaka Nnadozie has been named CAF Goalkeeper of the Year (Women) for 2025, securing the prestigious award for the third consecutive year.
The 24-year-old shotstopper received the accolade on Wednesday at the 2025 CAF Awards held in Rabat, Morocco.
Nnadozie beat Morocco’s Khadija Er-Rmichi and South Africa’s Andile Dlamini to the honour, reaffirming her dominance as Africa’s top goalkeeper.
Nnadozie enjoyed a stellar year for both club and country. At Paris FC, she helped lift the Coupe de France Féminine, while internationally, she played a key role in the Super Falcons’ record-extending 10th WAFCON title, keeping four clean sheets and earning the tournament’s best goalkeeper award.
Following WAFCON, she joined Brighton & Hove Albion in the Women’s Super League, making an immediate impact with a Player of the Match debut, and earning multiple nominations including the WSL Save of the Month and PFA Fans’ Player of the Month awards.
Nnadozie’s latest CAF honour adds to her growing legacy, cementing her status as one of the most exciting talents in women’s football today.
