Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie named Africa’s Best by IFFHS

Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has been named the best goalkeeper in Africa, and the 14th best goalkeeper in the World by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics.

The 19 year Old caught the eye of fans and critics at the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in France earlier this year, playing in three games for the Super Falcons including the 2-0 win over South Korea where she became the youngest ever goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet in a Women’s World Cup game.
