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.

Meanwhile, the Super Falcons were voted as the Women’s National Team of the Year for their stellar outing in the year, particularly winning the WAFCON.

Sports: Infantino Gets Re-Election Boost After Securing Asia, Africa’s Backing

FIFA President Gianni Infantino has received a major boost in his bid for re-election after securing the support of both the Confederation of African Football and the Asian Football Confederation ahead of the 2027 FIFA presidential election. The two confederations control 101 votes out of FIFA’s 211-member voting bloc, giving Infantino a strong advantage as he seeks another term in office. The AFC and CAF publicly endorsed Infantino following his confirmation at FIFA’s Congress in Vancouver that he intends to run again in 2027. AFC President Sheikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa praised Infantino’s leadership, stating that FIFA is currently in its strongest position and reaffirming Asia’s continued support since his first election in 2016. Infantino, who became FIFA president in 2016 after the downfall of Sepp Blatter amid a corruption scandal, has overseen major reforms and record revenues during his tenure. Despite criticism over his ties to Donald Trump and controversial changes such as the expansion of the FIFA World Cup to 48 teams, FIFA says the organisation has significantly increased funding for its member associations through the FIFA Forward Program.
