Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie was ranked fourth in the Yacine Trophy power rankings at the Ballon d’Or awards on Monday, Soccernet.ng reports.
Following her impressive showing at the 2025 Women’s African Cup of Nations and her great performance for Paris FC, Nnadozie became the first Super Falcons player to be nominated for the Yachine Trophy － the award for the best female goalkeeper in the world.

Although Chiamaka Nnadozie finished fourth in the rankings she will be very happy that she finished in the top five.
Now, she will look to continue her impressive performances for Nigeria and her new club Brighton.
Meanwhile, Super Falcons coach Justin Madugu, was beaten to the Johan Cruyff Award for the best coach by England coach Sarina Wiegman.
