Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has lauded Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie after she was ranked fourth in the 2025 Women's Yashin Trophy awards.

Nnadozie has had a sensational year, which included a summer transfer to the English Women’s Super League after a successful stint with Paris FC.

She was instrumental in Nigeria's victory at the 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, where she was also named the tournament's Best Goalkeeper.

Her remarkable performances have gained global attention, with her Ballon d'Or recognition cementing her place among the elite goalkeepers in women's football.
