Nigeria Chiamaka Nnadozie, who plays for Paris FC, is in the running for the Goalkeeper of the Season award in the French women's top league. The league revealed the nominees for various awards to celebrate the end of the season, according to PUNCH Sports Extra.

Nnadozie has made seven saves from penalties, two in the league and five during her club's impressive performance in the Women's Champions League. Ines Benyahia from Le Havre, Louna Ribadeira from Nnadozie’s Paris FC, and Thiniba Samoura from PSG are also in the running for the Revelation of The Season award.
The Coach of The Season nominees include the top three coaches in the standings: Sonia Bompastor from Lyon, Jocelyn Precheur from PSG, and Sandrine Soubeyrand from Paris FC. The winners of the awards will be revealed on April 29.
