Nigeria's Super Falcons goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, has made history as the first African and Nigerian player to be named the top goalkeeper in the French D1 Arkema women’s league.

The 23-year-old has solidified her reputation as one of the world's best goalkeepers with her outstanding performances and crucial penalty saves this season for Paris FC.

Nnadozie faced tough competition from Christiane Endler of Olympic Lyon and Katarzyna Kiedrzynek of Paris SG, but she emerged victorious, clinching the prestigious individual award.

Paris FC president Pierre Ferracci praised Nnadozie, saying, "It’s very pleasing because she deserves it and she achieved an exceptional Champions League and not only on penalties." He also expressed a desire to retain her despite expected interest from other clubs.

Currently, Paris FC is third in the league standings with 42 points, trailing Paris Saint-Germain by eight points and Lyon by 11 points.
