The 24 year old earned her nomination after a remarkable 2024/25 campaign. She was instrumental in guiding Paris FC to the Coupe de France Féminine, giving the club their first major trophy in nearly two decades. Her penalty-saving heroics throughout the season earned widespread praise and cemented her reputation as one of the best shot-stoppers in Europe.
On the international stage, Nnadozie was just as dominant. She played a key role in helping Nigeria win a historic 10th WAFCON title in Morocco, where she was voted Goalkeeper of the Tournament.
After signing with Brighton & Hove Albion Women in England, she has continued her impressive form, earning global recognition beyond Africa. In October, she became the first Nigerian goalkeeper to be nominated for the Women’s Yachine Trophy at the Ballon d’Or ceremony, where she finished in fourth place.
