Nigeria Football Federation said it was pleasant to see Super Falcons and Brighton ladies’ goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie achieve a fourth-place finish at this year’s Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris on Monday night.
Nnadozie, who has been Africa’s Best Goalkeeper for the past two years, was also named Goalkeeper of the tournament for this summer’s Women Africa Cup of Nations finals in Morocco.
She played a key role in Nigeria’s 10th triumph at WAFCON.
“We heartily congratulate Nnadozie on her fourth-place finish in the race. It is a commendable feat given the calibre of goalkeepers she was up against.
“Finishing fourth is a big achievement, and we believe in her capacity to win this trophy very soon,” NFF General Secretary Mohammed Sanusi said.
Sanusi also gave kudos to Super Falcons’ Head Coach Justine Madugu, who also finished fourth in the Women’s Coach of the Year category.
French and Paris st Germain star Ousmane Dembele won the men’s category, while Aitana Bonmati of Spain and Barcelona won the women category.
