Brighton & Hove Albion have celebrated their goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie for her remarkable showing at the 2025 Ballon d’Or awards.
Nnadozie finished fourth in the Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year category, which was won by Chelsea and England star Hannah Hampton.
The Super Falcons shot stopper made history as the first African—and first Nigerian—to be nominated for the prestigious award.
“@NnadozieChiamaka is fourth in the #TrophéeYachine rankings at this year’s #BallonDor! Congratulations on your nomination, Chiamaka!,” Brighton posted on X.
Meanwhile, Super Falcons head coach Justine Madugu also placed fourth in the Coach of the Year category, won by England’s Sarina Wiegman.
