Nnadozie Named in WSL Team of the Week for Performance

Chiamaka Nnadozie, a 25-year-old goalkeeper for Brighton & Hove Albion, has been recognized in the Women’s Super League (WSL) Team of the Week by pundit Izzi Christiansen following her outstanding display in Brighton's 1-0 win against Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. Nnadozie's performance included her sixth clean sheet of the season, showcasing her ability to command the defense effectively.

She made crucial interventions, including rushing off her line early in the match and executing a confident late save from a corner to preserve the victory. Nnadozie's inclusion in Christiansen's XI places her alongside notable players from Manchester City, Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Tottenham.

With a save percentage of 75.7%, she ranks as one of the league's most reliable goalkeepers, standing third in saves per 90 minutes. Off the pitch, Nnadozie expressed her frustration regarding the postponement of the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, which has been moved from March to July due to unforeseen circumstances.
