Oct 6 Chiamaka Nnadozie Nominated for WSL Player of the Month — A Testament to African Excellence in Europe

Nigeria’s Super Falcons goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, continues to make waves on the international stage as she bags a nomination for the PFA Women’s Super League (WSL) Fans’ Player of the Month for September, according to TalkTalk Nigeria.

Since joining Brighton & Hove Albion Ladies, the 24-year-old shot-stopper has proven to be one of the league’s standout performers. Her commanding presence between the sticks and consistent match-winning saves have been crucial in helping Brighton secure seven points from their first five league games, with two clean sheets to her name already.

The Nigerian goalkeeper now stands tall among other football elites nominated for the award, including Aggie Beever-Jones (Chelsea), Melvine Malard (Manchester United), Alessia Russo (Arsenal), Bunny Shaw (Manchester City), and Cathinka Tandberg (Tottenham Hotspur) — a lineup that reflects just how competitive this recognition is.

Fans can cast their votes for their preferred player via the official WSL platform, and many Nigerians are already rallying behind Nnadozie in hopes of seeing her crowned the best for September.

Opinion: A Rising Symbol of African Excellence

Nnadozie’s rise is more than just a personal achievement — it’s a proud moment for Nigeria and African football as a whole. Her journey from the streets of Owerri to the bright lights of the English Women’s Super League mirrors the growing global respect African players are commanding in top-tier football.

In a league dominated by big European names, her nomination sends a powerful message: talent knows no borders. It’s also a reminder to every young African girl with a dream — that with hard work, determination, and resilience, the world will eventually take notice.

As the votes pour in, one thing remains clear — whether she wins or not, Chiamaka Nnadozie has already become a symbol of pride and possibility, not just for Nigeria, but for every aspiring African athlete watching her journey unfold.
