Chiamaka Nnadozie's journey to the pinnacle of world football has been anything but easy. Raised in a family of brothers, she faced challenges, especially from a father who wasn't initially supportive of her choice to pursue a career in football.

Nevertheless, Nnadozie managed to establish herself as a goalkeeper and recently shared her inspiring story with CNN Sport, discussing her path to the highest levels of women's football.
