“By winning the 2024 CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year Award, Chiamaka Nnadozie has confirmed that she is one of the safest pairs of hands amongst women in the beautiful game. She had clinched the award in 2023. The Super Falcons should also take a most deserved bow for winning the Women’s National Team of the Year. Congratulations, you’ve truly made us proud as Nigerians.”
