Nigeria’s goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has cemented her status as Africa’s top female goaltender after winning the Goalkeeper of the Year award for the third consecutive time at the CAF Awards 2025 held in Rabat, Morocco, yesterday.
The accolade, presented at the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, extends Nnadozie’s dominance in a category introduced only in 2023 — and one she has ruled unchallenged since its inception.
Nnadozie’s latest honour comes on the back of a remarkable year for both club and country. She played a pivotal role in Nigeria’s historic 10th Africa Women’s Cup of Nations triumph on July 26 at the Rabat Olympic Stadium, where she was named Best Goalkeeper of the Tournament and earned a place in the Team of the Tournament.
