Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie delivered a masterclass performance to help Paris FC secure a dramatic 4-2 penalty shootout victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe de France Féminine final the club’s first in 19 years. Held at the Stade de l’Épopée in Calais, the all-Paris final ended 0-0 in regular time, setting the stage for Nnadozie’s brilliance in the shootout.

The 24 year old Nigerian made two crucial saves during the penalties, sealing a famous win and avenging Paris FC’s heartbreaking semi-final loss to PSG last season. Her calm presence and sharp reflexes under pressure capped off an already remarkable campaign for both club and player.

Nnadozie, who joined Paris FC from Rivers Angels in 2020, continues to earn global recognition for her consistency and shot stopping prowess. She is a multiple-time CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year (2023, 2024), the 2023–24 D1 Arkema Goalkeeper of the Season, and a former IFFHS Africa’s Best Woman Goalkeeper.

With Saturday’s triumph, Nnadozie adds a major European trophy to a growing list of accolades, further cementing her legacy as one of the finest goalkeepers ever produced by Nigeria.

Editorial

Chiamaka Nnadozie is not just making saves she’s making history. Saturday’s victory didn’t just secure silverware for Paris FC it validated years of perseverance, resilience, and growth for a player who continues to defy the odds.

In a match that could’ve gone either way, it was Nnadozie’s composure under pressure that stood tall. Her two penalty saves weren’t just reflexive brilliance they were statements. Statements that she belongs on the biggest stages, and that her name should echo louder in conversations about the world’s elite goalkeepers.

But what makes Nnadozie special is more than just her gloves. It’s her leadership. Her humility. Her passion for the badge whether it's for club or country. From Rivers Angels to the Coupe de France final, she has embodied what it means to grow with purpose.

This win isn't just for Paris FC it's a victory for every Nigerian girl dreaming of football greatness. Nnadozie is the blueprint.
