Chiamaka Nnadozie: Best goalkeeper of the 2024 Women's AFCON
Chiamaka Nnadozie received the Best Goalkeeper of the 2024 Women's Africa Cup of Nations trophy on the night of the Nigeria's victory over Morocco (3-2) in the final this Saturday, July 26. The Nigerian shot-stopper was recognized for her outstanding performances throughout the tournament.
The 24-year-old made her mark on this 2024 Women's AFCON with her consistency and reliability between the posts for Nigeria. Chiamaka Nnadozie was one of the pillars of Nigeria's journey to a record tenth continental title. Ever-present in goal since the start of the competition, she maintained a clean sheet for 420 consecutive minutes (4 clean sheets) before conceding her first goal in the semi-final against South Africa.
Already a winner of the Best Goalkeeper award at the 2024 CAF Awards, she followed up with another dominant display at the AFCON. Thanks in large part to her heroics, the Super Falcons finished the competition with 14 goals scored and only 3 goals conceded.
