The Brighton goalkeeper played all games as the Super Falcons won a 10th Women Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) crown earlier in the year.

She edged Morocco’s Khadija Er-Rmichi and South African goalkeeper, Andile Dlamini, to get the honour at the event in Rabat.

After picking the prize, Nnadozie thanked the Confederation of African Football (CAF), the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), her teammates and coaches both at national and club levels for their support.

She conceeded three goals in six matches in the competition, first in the semi-final win over South Africa and in the final against Morocco. The 24-year-old was the Goalkeeper of the Tournament in Morocco.

Nnadozie won the Coupe de France Feminine while she was at Paris FC in the period under review.

In the men’s category, Yassine Bounou of Morocco picked up the prize.

Nnadozie’s accolade is her latest in the list of individual honours for the year. The former Paris FC player finished fourth in the women’s category of the Yachine Trophy at the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony.
