Nnadozie, reigning African Goalkeeper of the Year made the shortlist after a remarkable campaign in the 2024/25 season, where she inspired her former club, Paris FC, to the Coupe de France Féminine, their first title in about 20 years.
She was also crucial to Nigeria’s 10th WAFCON triumph in Morocco earlier this year, where she was also named the Goalkeeper of the Tournament.
She kept four clean sheets in six matches and conceded only twice from open play, both in the final against Morocco, when the Falcons came from two goals down to win 3-2.
She also helped Paris FC reach the French league playoffs before joining Brighton Women in England.
In England, Nnadozie has kept up her consistent performance at club level, and she was also nominated for the 2025 Women’s Yachine Trophy at the Ballon d’Or, where she finished fourth.
