The Nigeria Football Federation has extended its congratulations to Chiamaka Nnadozie for securing fourth place in the inaugural Women’s Yachine Trophy.
The award, introduced this year, recognises the world’s best women’s goalkeeper.
The 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony, where the announcement was made, took place on Monday night in Paris, France.
“We heartily congratulate Chiamaka Nnadozie on her fourth-place finish in the race. It is a commendable feat given the calibre of goalkeepers she was up against,” NFF General Secretary Dr. Mohammed Sanusi said in a statement to thenff.com.
“Finishing fourth is a big achievement and we believe in her capacity to win this trophy very soon.”
Sanusi also praised Super Falcons’ head coach, Justine Madugu, who claimed fourth place in the Women’s Coach of the Year category.
“Coach Madugu’s feat further underscores the fact that the NFF was right to have given him the Super Falcons’ head coach’s role, which had earlier been validated with him leading the team to victory at the WAFCON in Morocco,” he added.
“We congratulate him on this feat and wish him victory in the awards in the coming years.”
