At 24, she becomes the first African goalkeeper on the Ballon d’Or shortlist.
The nod rewards strong work at Paris FC and crucial saves that helped Nigeria win the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
She led Paris FC to the Coupe de France Féminine before leaving the club in May.
She then starred as the Super Falcons claimed a record-extending 10th WAFCON title and won the tournament’s best goalkeeper award.
“It is a miracle for me. It shows that all the hard work, dedication and everything I’ve been doing in the past, has been worth it,” – Nnadozie told BBC Sport.
