  "account": "Brighton Women goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie is set to resume her duties with the club following her participation in the 2026 WAFCON in Morocco, as reported by PUNCH Sports Extra. Nnadozie's performance in the tournament, where she conceded six goals and added two more in the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup playoffs, drew significant criticism. Despite the poor showing, the 25-year-old is eager to move forward with the new season commencing this weekend. \"Few minutes in the pre-season friendly. Looking forward to a big weekend,\" she expressed via X. Brighton Women will host Arsenal in their opening game of the WSL on Sunday at Broadfield Stadium. In the previous 2025/26 Barclays Women’s Super League season, Nnadozie demonstrated her exceptional skills by recording the highest save percentage of 74.7 percent, surpassing Chelsea’s Hannah Hampton and Manchester United’s Phallon Tullis-Joyce. The goalkeeper made 62 saves from 83 shots on target across 19 league matches, showcasing her prowess as one of the league’s most dependable goalkeepers. Her contributions were instrumental in Brighton's competitive performance against top clubs, culminating in reaching the Women’s FA Cup final, where they lost to Manchester City. Nnadozie also earned recognition with the WSL Save of the Month award for a spectacular fingertip stop against Liverpool.",
