Nnadozie Wins Back-to-Back with Best Goalkeeper Award at CAF Awards 2024
Chiamaka Nnadozie is brimming with joy after being named the Best Goalkeeper in Africa at the 2024 CAF Awards.
This marks the second consecutive year that the Super Falcons star has clinched the prestigious title, having first earned the honor in 2023.
At just 24 years old, Nnadozie has carved out an impressive reputation as one of the continent’s top shot-stoppers.
Nnadozie’s year has been nothing short of remarkable.
As the first-choice goalkeeper for Paris FC, she played a pivotal role in helping her team secure qualification for the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
Competing at such a high level in Europe’s elite women’s tournament further cemented her status as a top-tier goalkeeper.
She was a standout performer for the Nigerian national team, the Super Falcons, delivering incredible saves and displays of leadership during the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
In her acceptance speech at the CAF Awards ceremony, Nnadozie expressed deep gratitude and humility.
“I was here last year, and I’m incredibly grateful to be here again.
I want to thank God for making this possible,” she said, acknowledging the support she’s received along her journey.
She didn’t forget to credit the key figures behind her success.
“A big thank you to the CAF President and the Nigerian Football President for their continuous efforts in promoting women’s football.
I’m also grateful to my club, Paris FC, for believing in me and investing in my growth,” she shared.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
