Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie has barely settled into her new life in England, but she’s already making headlines with her sense of humour.

The Nigerian goalkeeper, who recently signed for Brighton after leaving Paris FC, joked about the intensity of her new environment, Footballrover reports.

Chiamaka Nnadozie Adjusting to Brighton Preseason

The 24-year-old shot-stopper is widely regarded as Africa’s number one female goalkeeper.

Having made 55 appearances for the Super Falcons since her debut in 2018, Nnadozie is no stranger to pressure.

But even she couldn’t resist making light of the tough preparations at Brighton, showing both her playful side and her determination to adapt quickly.

“If I survive Brighton preseason, straight to Thanksgiving,” she wrote, leaving fans amused.

Before joining Brighton, she spent four seasons at Paris FC, where she played a vital role in the club’s rise in French and European women’s football.

She featured in the UEFA Women’s Champions League 16 times between 2022 and 2025, gaining valuable European experience that will now benefit her new team in England.

Long before her European move, Chiamaka Nnadozie had already established herself in Nigeria.

With Rivers Angels, she won the Nigeria Women’s Premier League title in 2019 and added three Nigeria Women’s Cup trophies to her name.

Her journey then took her to Paris, where she blossomed into one of the best in women’s football.

Alongside her club achievements, she recently helped the Super Falcons win a record 10th WAFCON title.

How Nnadozie Reacted to Brighton Preseason

Adjusting to life at Brighton, Nnadozie decided to keep things light-hearted despite the tough training sessions.

Sharing her feelings online, she joked about the intensity of the programme in the Women’s Super League.

— “At this point, Una need to go find another person wey go make una proud oo because me l don tire.. which kind pre season be this naa 😂😂 not even funny jare. If I survive this week, straight to thanksgiving People wey play for this England before, una no give me the full gist,” she wrote with pidgin on her socials.

And in English translation of her earlier full remark:

— “At this point, you all need to go and find someone else who will make you proud, because I’m already tired. What kind of pre-season is this? 😂😂 It’s not even funny. If I survive this week, I’m going straight to Thanksgiving. Those who played in England before didn’t give me the full story 😂😂.”
