Ballon d’Or 2025: Nigeria’s Chiamaka Nnadozie loses out in Best Goalkeeper category

Super Falcons goalkeeper, Chiamaka Nnadozie, has missed out on the 2025 Women’s Yachine Trophy, the award for the best women’s goalkeeper, to England’s Hannah Hampton.
Hampton was announced as the winner at the 2025 Ballon d’Or ceremony on Monday night, finishing ahead of Ann-Katrin Berger, Cata Coll, and Daphne van Domselaar.
Nnadozie was part of the Nigerian women’s team that clinched a record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title last month.
She also recently completed a move from Paris FC to Brighton.
Both Nigerians nominated for this year’s Ballon d’Or failed to win, including the Falcons’ head coach, Justine Madugu.
