Nigerians have vented their frustration on FIFA after Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie was not included in the Women's Goalkeeper Nominees.

FIFA released the nominees for the Best Women’s Goalkeeper yesterday with several top names making the list.

However, Nigeria goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie was not among the nominees despite her impressive performance at the Women's World Cup.

Nigerians took to social media after the announcement of the nominees and dragged FIFA for not recognising Nnadozie's performance and excluding her name from the list.

Nigerians got angry with FIFA on social media after leaving out the Super Falcons goalkeeper from the FIFA Women's Goalkeeper Nominees.

Chiamaka Nnadozie was one of the outstanding goalkeepers at the just concluded Women’s World Cup.

She helped the Super Falcons during the group stage as they secured qualification to the Round of 16.

The Paris FC goalkeeper kept three clean sheets during the tournament and also saved a penalty against Canada in their opening game.

Despite her performance at the World Cup, her name was not included in the Women's Goalkeeper Nominees leaving Nigerians furious with the list.
