Nigeria’s Chiamaka Nnadozie has been crowned the Best Goalkeeper of the 2024 TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON), following a series of outstanding performances that played a key role in the Super Falcons’ run to the final.
Nnadozie was a pillar of strength for Nigeria from the very start of the tournament.
Her composure, sharp reflexes, and command of the penalty area set the tone for the Super Falcons’ solid defensive displays.
Game after game, she stepped up with vital saves and clear leadership at the back, often standing between Nigeria and potential danger.
As the tournament progressed, Nnadozie’s impact only grew.
In the semi-final against South Africa, she delivered a standout performance under immense pressure, making crucial stops that helped Nigeria hold on to their lead and book a spot in the final.
Her leadership was just as important as her shot-stopping.
Always vocal and alert, Nnadozie ensured the defence remained organized, and her confidence spread throughout the team.
Her recognition as the tournament’s top goalkeeper is a reflection not only of her individual brilliance but also of the key role she played in Nigeria’s title-winning campaign.
This latest honour further cements Nnadozie’s status as one of the best goalkeepers in African women’s football.
Already a respected figure in the game, she continues to inspire young goalkeepers across the continent.
Her performances at WAFCON 2024 have once again shown why she’s considered one of the finest talents to ever wear the Super Falcons jersey.
