Super Falcons first-choice goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has completed a landmark transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion Women, marking a major step in her career and a proud moment for Nigerian women’s football.
The 23-year-old joins the English side from Paris FC Féminines in France, where she established herself as one of Europe’s top young goalkeepers. This move makes Nnadozie the first Nigerian female goalkeeper to sign for a Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) club, underlining her status as a trailblazer for African women in the sport.
During her time in France, Nnadozie made over 100 appearances for Paris FC, helped secure consecutive Champions League qualifications, and shone for Nigeria at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, notably with a decisive penalty save against Canada.
Brighton Women’s head coach Dario Vidosic hailed the signing, saying:
“We’re thrilled to welcome Chiamaka to the club. She’s a talented and commanding goalkeeper who will bring consistency and confidence to our defensive line.”
