The newly crowned Africa Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year, Chiamaka Nnadozie has delivered an emotional message to young girls in Africa at the 2023 CAF Awards.
Nnadozie, who shone brightly at the FIFA World Cup finals in Down Under this year summer as the Super Falcons reached the Round of 16, was the undoubted winner of the honour of Goalkeeper of the Year (Women).
Nnadozie, who recounted how her dad didn’t allow her to pursue her dreams as a footballer, urged upcoming female players not to give up in their dreams and aspirations.
“To all the young girls growing up in Africa, dreaming of becoming a footballer one day, believe me dreams do come true. My dad didn’t want me to play football but I’m sure he’s gonna see this and be happy. So, keep dreaming, keep working and I believe that one day you’ll get to this stage.” she said.
