Chiamaka Nnadozie has cemented her standing as one of Africa’s most commanding football talents, securing the 2025 CAF Women’s Goalkeeper of the Year title in Rabat, Morocco. It marks her third consecutive win, a feat confirmed by outlets including BusinessDay and Complete Sports, which described her achievement as a continuation of her remarkable rise across African and international football.

Her consistency throughout 2025 shaped much of the conversation around the award. Reports from BusinessDay highlight her role in Nigeria’s triumphant run at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, where she delivered four clean sheets in six matches and completed every minute between the posts. Her performances were central to the Super Falcons’ record-extending 10th WAFCON title, earning her the tournament’s Best Goalkeeper recognition.

Nnadozie’s influence stretched across club football as well. Coverage from Vanguard notes that she lifted the Coupe de France Féminine with Paris FC before moving to Brighton & Hove Albion in the English Women’s Super League. According to BusinessDay, she made an immediate impression in England, securing a Player of the Match nod on her debut and gaining nominations for WSL Save of the Month and PFA Fans’ Player of the Month.

Competition for the 2025 CAF honour was formidable. ACLSports reports that Morocco’s Khadija Er-Rmichi and South Africa’s Andile Dlamini were the other finalists, underscoring how competitive the field has become. Even with that level of talent in the lineup, Nnadozie’s year stood out in both results and influence.

During the ceremony, she acknowledged the support of her coaches, teammates, and the Nigeria Football Federation a moment captured in BusinessDay’s coverage reflecting the collaborative effort behind her steady rise.
Her year also included global recognition. BellaNaija reported that she ranked fourth in the 2025 Yashin Trophy, a Ballon d’Or affiliated honour that tracks the world’s top goalkeepers.

Across every feature, one picture remains consistent: a goalkeeper who has delivered excellence for club and country, maintained composure under pressure, and shaped Nigeria’s return to continental dominance. Nnadozie’s third straight CAF award isn’t a surprise, it’s an affirmation of a career moving with clear intent and rising impact.

Fátima Bosch Fernández from Tabasco, Mexico, has officially been crowned Miss Universe 2025, making history as one of the few contestants from her state to win both the Miss Mexico crown and the international title.

Leading up to the finale in Bangkok, Bosch faced a public controversy when a pageant executive criticized her for skipping a promotional event. The situation escalated, and several contestants, including Miss Universe 2024, walked out in support of Bosch. The incident captured global media attention, leading to judge resignations and debates over fairness in the competition. The executive later issued an apology, making Bosch’s stand a defining moment of the pageant.

Bosch’s background is equally impressive. She studied Fashion & Apparel Design at Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico and continued her studies at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan and the Lyndon Institute in Vermont. Living with dyslexia and ADHD, she has become an advocate for neurodiversity, raising awareness on a global stage. Her work in sustainable fashion, including designing clothing from recycled materials, and her dedication to programs supporting children with cancer highlight her impact beyond pageantry.

On November 21, 2025, at the 74th Miss Universe pageant in Nonthaburi, Thailand, Bosch stood out among the world’s top contestants and claimed the Miss Universe crown. Her focus on advocacy and social responsibility during the competition impressed both judges and viewers alike.

Bosch’s win is notable for several reasons. She challenged authority during the contest, demonstrating integrity and courage. Her commitment to advocacy, sustainability, and social engagement brings new depth to the Miss Universe role, showing that the crown can represent more than beauty alone. She is also one of the few from Tabasco to win the Miss Mexico crown and the international title.

The victory received widespread praise in Mexico, including from the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, who recognized Bosch as a role model for young women. International media also highlighted her win as a statement of fairness, integrity, and meaningful social impact in global pageantry.

Even with all the attention, Bosch’s journey has faced scrutiny regarding judging and competition fairness. How she uses her reign, whether promoting sustainable fashion, advocating for neurodiversity, or pushing for reform, will define her legacy as Miss Universe 2025.

Fátima Bosch Fernández proves that winning the Miss Universe crown goes beyond elegance or beauty. Her advocacy, leadership, and principled stand during the competition position her as one of the most remarkable Miss Mexico winners in recent memory.
