Brighton & Hove Albion Women have congratulated Chiamaka Nnadozie for her nomination for the 2025 Ballon d’Or Yachine Trophy.

Nnadozie was among the five goalkeepers nominated for the award by the organisers.

It’s the first time the shot-stopper will be nominated for the individual accolade.

The 24-year-old was recognised for her impressive performances for her former club, Paris FC.

The Nigerian played a pivotal role in Paris FC’s Coupe de France Féminine win in May.

She also contributed to the Super Falcons’ title win at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco last month.


Brighton took to social media to celebrate Nnadozie.

“Congratulations to #WAFCON24 winner @NadozieChiamaka with a well-deserved #BallonDor Yachine Trophy nomination!,” the Seagulls wrote on X.
