Super Falcons’ goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie finished impressively as the fourth-best goalkeeper worldwide at the 2025 Ballon d’Or awards in Paris.
England’s and Chelsea’s standout goalkeeper, Hannah Hampton, made history by winning the first-ever Women’s Yashin Trophy on Monday night. Her stellar performances propelled the Lionesses to victory at Euro 2025 and secured Chelsea’s domestic treble.
Recognized as one of Africa’s premier goalkeepers, Nnadozie earned a spot among the top five finalists, a testament to her growing global reputation.
Spain’s Cata Coll claimed third place, with Germany’s Ann-Katrin Berger second, trailing Hampton’s triumphant performance.
Nnadozie, who has recently transitioned from Paris FC in France to England, continues to receive international acclaim following her outstanding display at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, including earning Player of the Match honors in Nigeria’s surprising win over Australia.
For Hampton, the award capped an extraordinary year marked by 13 clean sheets in the Women’s Super League, a shared Golden Glove title, a domestic treble with Chelsea, and a crucial role in England’s European Championship success.
