Chiamaka Cynthia Nnadozie is a Nigerian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Brighton & Hove Albion and the Nigeria women's national football team.
She has been regarded as the best female goalkeeper in Africa and one of the best in the world.
She sometimes had to play barefoot and without gloves when she was little.
She comes from a very poor family. They had to borrow money from people to buy some rice.
She used to motivate herself because her father never believed in her.
Her father kicked her out of the house because she didn't want to work and instead kept training all the time.
Almost her entire family played football, and she was the only one who succeeded.
She used to play as a forward.
She became a goalkeeper by chance when she wanted to help a friend who was tired and playing in goal.
Her big dream, when she was little, was win a title with her club.
Her other big dream is to win a trophy with Nigeria.
