#CAFAwards2023: Super Eagles goalie, Chiamaka Nnadozie wins goalkeeper of the year
Chiamaka Nnadozie of the Super Eagles has been named Africa’s greatest custodian at the CAF Awards.
On Monday, December 11, the Paris FC sensation defeated Moroccan shot-stopper Khadija El-Rmichi and South African Andile Olaminii to win the honour.
Nnadozie performed admirably in the Women’s World Cup encounter against Canada, making three saves, including a 50th-minute penalty save against Christine Sinclair, as the game ended in a goalless draw.
Her game performances earned her a Player of the Match award and international recognition.
In her award speech, the 23-year-old stated, “I just want to use this great opportunity to say a very big thank you to the organisers and also for remembering the female custodian this year.”
Kanyidaily recalls that Osimhen and Oshoala won African Footballer Of The Year respectively.
