Chiamaka Nnadozie, the goalkeeper for Nigeria's Super Falcons, has been shortlisted for the 2024 CAF Women's Player of the Year award. She is set to compete with Zambia’s Barbara Banda and Morocco's Sanna Mssoudy for the prestigious honor. This marks the first time Nnadozie has reached the final list for this award, highlighting her growing reputation as one of Africa's top footballers.
The 24-year-old Nnadozie has been a standout performer for Nigeria, particularly during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where her exceptional goalkeeping was crucial for the team. In addition to the Player of the Year nomination, she is also a contender for the Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year award, an accolade she claimed last year.
Nnadozie’s inclusion in the shortlist comes after a remarkable year for African women’s football, with Nnadozie’s countrywoman, Asisat Oshoala, having won the Women’s Player of the Year award for a record sixth time in 2023.
The winners of the CAF awards will be announced at a ceremony in Marrakech, Morocco, on December 16, 2024. Fans are eagerly awaiting to see if Nnadozie can take home one of the top individual honors in African women’s football.
