Chiamaka Nnadozie is aimed at continuing her strong start of life in the Women’s Super League with Brighton when they are confronted with Manchester City.
Last weekend the keeper held a clean sheet on her WSL debut against Aston Villa, which saved all four shots on the goal with which she was confronted.
The 24-year-old could only become the second goalkeeper in the last five seasons to include a clean magazine on the first two performances in the competition, after Phallon Tullis-Joyce did this in September 2024.
Nnadozie enjoyed a successful summer prior to her move to Brighton, so that Nigeria would win a record-expanding 10th ladies Africa Cup of Nations title, while he also became the first African goalkeeper who is on the shortlist for the ladies Ballon d’Or.
Nigeria’s international international recognized life in the WSL will be more difficult compared to her time with Paris FC, but she believes she is the task.
“It was a feeling of joy for me and my family,” Nnadozie told BBC Sport when he was asked about her move to Brighton.
The best of @chiamakannadozie on debut!

“They kept asking me questions. They didn’t really understand where Brighton was until I told me it was in the UK.
“It has always been my dream to play in England. Moving to Brighton is a special. From the first time they came to beat, I knew they were the ones.
“I am happy to be here. I said my family that it would not be the way it was in Paris. It will not be easy. The WSL is a very strong competition.”
In the meantime, Man City will want to bounce back on the opening day from their 2-1 defeat to reigning champions Chelsea.
Although Andree Jeglertz may not have Grace Clinton and Lily Murphy available for selection, Captain Alex Greenwood will perform against Brighton.
‘Alex [Greenwood] Is again in the training, “confirmed head coach Jeglertz.
‘[Clinton] She is progressing slowly, but is not ready yet. We don’t think [she will play].
“Lily, we are still waiting for the last assessment of the consultants. I think it is too early to say [when Murphy will return]. They want to get the review and we just have to wait until that is ready. “
