Nigeria’s Super Falcons goalkeeper, ChiamakaNnadozie, has been ranked the fourth-best female goalkeeper in the world at the 2025 Ballon d’Or awards, held at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.
The Paris FC star, who has made a name for herself with her consistent performances in France, is the only African player among the top five in the final Women’s Yashin Trophy rankings. The accolade recognises the finest goalkeepers globally for their performances in the 2024/25 season.

According to <a href="https://www.mtlblog.com/tag/environment-canada" target="_blank">Environment Canada</a>, the storm could bring heavy snowfall, freezing rain, and rain, depending on how the system tracks and which air masses collide. The warning was shared through a post on X, urging residents to prepare for messy conditions in the coming days.</p><blockquote class="rm-embed twitter-tweet" data-partner="rebelmouse" data-twitter-tweet-id="1904662445181845522">

<p>As reported by <a href="https://www.meteomedia.com/fr/nouvelles/meteo/previsions/un-gros-joueur-meteo-sous-haute-surveillance-pour-le-week-end" target="_blank">The Weather Network</a>, this weekend's storm could last from Saturday to Monday and is expected to hit the southern part of the province the hardest. Current forecasts suggest 10 to 15 cm of snow could fall on Greater Montreal on Saturday, followed by over 20 mm of rain on Sunday and Monday.</p><p>"The atmospheric conditions are ideal for a messy weather cocktail in southern Quebec. Cold air is firmly in place to the north, while warm air is pushing up from the south," The Weather Network warns. "If the warm air manages to rise above while the cold air remains at the surface, it could result in significant amounts of freezing rain."</p><p>While it's still too early to determine the exact amounts of snow and rain, meteorologists are already warning Quebecers to brace for difficult road conditions and to stay cautious throughout the weekend.</p><p>In the meantime, you may want to retrieve your shovel and de-icing salt. </p><p><em>Love this?
