Nnadozie Leaves Paris FC After 5-Year Stint Marked by Glory and Greatness
PARIS, FRANCE — June 14, 2025 | IDNN Women’s Football Desk
Chiamaka Nnadozie, Nigeria’s reigning African Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year, has bid farewell to Paris FC, ending an extraordinary five-year journey with the French club.
Paris FC announced her departure this week, thanking the 24-year-old for her “immeasurable contribution” and leadership during her time between the sticks.
Ending on a High
Nnadozie’s final act was nothing short of legendary — she saved two penalties in a dramatic shootout victory over Paris Saint-Germain to win the Coupe de France, delivering Paris FC’s second title in club history.
She was later crowned the Best Goalkeeper in France’s Arkema Premier League (2023/24).
From Rivers Angels to French Glory
Nnadozie joined Paris FC in January 2020 after helping Rivers Angels win the Nigerian Women’s League title. She immediately became a starter and fan favourite in France.
Known for her shot-stopping, agility, and calm under pressure, she’s widely considered one of the best goalkeepers in women’s football today.
“She Left an Imprint on Our History”
In their tribute, Paris FC wrote:
“Chiamaka will forever be part of this club’s story. Her saves, her passion, her heart — we are grateful.”
Her departure comes just ahead of the new transfer window, with several top European clubs reportedly interested in signing her — including Chelsea, Wolfsburg, and clubs in the NWSL.
Africa’s #1, Ready for the Next Stage
With two CAF Best Goalkeeper awards in back-to-back years (2023 & 2024), and growing global recognition, Nnadozie now looks to take the next leap in her already decorated career.
