Paris FC are set to continue their tradition of trusting Nigerian talent between the posts, as a new Super Falcons goalkeeper has been proposed to replace Chiamaka Nnadozie. The 24 year old shot stopper is on her way to English side Everton, after helping Paris FC clinch the French Cup title against Paris Saint-Germain.
Nnadozie’s heroic performance in the final where she saved two penalties served as a fitting farewell to a remarkable five-year stint in France, having joined from Nigeria’s Rivers Angels.
While the name of her replacement has not yet been disclosed, the club is leaning toward another Nigerian goalkeeper, underlining the strong reputation of Nigerian shot-stoppers on the international stage.

The torch is about to be passed, but the fire remains distinctly Nigerian. Chiamaka Nnadozie’s departure from Paris FC is both an ending and a new beginning. Her from the NWFL to the summit of French football has been nothing short of inspiring and now, it appears another Super Falcons star is ready to step into her gloves.

This continuity says something important. It tells us that Nigerian goalkeepers are not just making up the numbers in Europe they’re setting standards. Nnadozie’s time in Paris has not only delivered trophies, but also trust. That Paris FC is actively seeking another Nigerian to replace her is proof of the depth of talent in our national team ranks.

It’s also a critical moment for whoever steps in. Replacing a legend-in-the-making like Nnadozie won’t be easy. But it’s a chance to shine under the same bright lights, to carry on a legacy that’s already resonating far beyond Nigeria’s borders.

Let this not be seen as a shadow too large to escape. Let it be seen as a challenge and a call to greatness.
