Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie is mourning the loss of her brother, who passed away on Monday. She shared her grief on Instagram, posting videos of her late brother holding her recent CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year award.
“Forever in my heart, big brother… Losing you is a pain like no other, but I’ll honour your life by living mine with courage,” Nnadozie wrote.
Messages of condolence have poured in from teammates, fans, and the Super Falcons community. Defender Michelle Alozie wrote, “May God be with you and your whole family,” while the team’s official page extended sympathies and prayers for strength and comfort.
The loss comes during a remarkable year for Nnadozie, who moved from Paris FC to Brighton Women in England, won her third consecutive CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year award, and received nominations for The Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper and the IFFHS Women’s World Best Goalkeeper awards.
