Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has been nominated for the 2025 Women’s Yachine Trophy, the Ballon d’Or award for the best female goalkeeper.
The organisers of the prestigious football award, France Football magazine, announced the nominations on Thursday.
Other nominees for the Yachine Trophy include Ann-Katrin Berger (Gotham FC), Cata Coll (Barcelona Femeni), Hannah Hampton (Chelsea Women), and Daphne van Domselaar (Arsenal Women).
Nnadozie, 24, recently joined Brighton Women FC from Paris FC after helping the French side win their first major title in nearly two decades.
Nnadozie delivered a heroic performance in the final of the 2025 Coupe de France Féminine, where Paris FC defeated Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) 5-4 on penalties following a goalless draw at Stade de l’Épopée in Calais.

She was also instrumental in Nigeria’s success at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), where the Super Falcons secured a record-extending 10th continental crown against host nation, Morocco.
Her standout displays earned her the Best Goalkeeper award and a place in the Team of the Tournament.
The Ballon d’Or award, the annual ceremony widely seen as football’s most prestigious individual prizes, sees journalists from around the world cast their votes to crown the best player.
It has been awarded to men since 1956, while the women’s award has been going on since 2018.
The winners will be revealed at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris, France, on September 22.
