Nnadozie’s nomination is due to her impressive performances in March, where she helped Paris FC win three out of four games. She kept two clean sheets during this period, contributing to the team’s success.

One of her standout moments was against Le Havre when she saved a penalty, leading to a 3-2 victory for Paris FC. Her teammate, Ribadeira, scored the winning goal shortly after.

Despite her impressive performances, Nnadozie faces tough competition for the award. She is up against two players from Paris Saint-Germain, Tabitha Chawinga and Grace Geyoro. Chawinga is the league’s top scorer, while Geyoro is the team’s captain.

Nnadozie’s excellent form extends beyond the French league. She has been outstanding for the Nigerian national team, the Super Falcons. The 23-year-old goalkeeper has kept four consecutive clean sheets in her last four games for Nigeria.

Her performances have been crucial for Nigeria’s success in international competitions. She played a significant role in Nigeria’s victories over Cameroon and South Africa, securing qualification for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. This marks Nigeria’s return to the Olympics after a 16-year absence.

If Nnadozie wins the Player of the Month award, she will become the first Nigerian to achieve this feat in the Feminine Division 1.
