At age 19, Nnadozie was named to the senior national team (commonly known as the Super Falcons) to compete at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France.[9] As Nigeria's starting goalkeeper in the team's 2–0 victory over Korea, Nnadozie became the youngest goalkeeper to keep a clean sheet at the World Cup.[10]

After the World Cup, Nnadozie again helped the Falconets to Gold medal at the African Games in Morocco saving three penalties in the shootout against Cameroon.[11]

On 16 June 2023, she was included in the 23-player Nigerian squad for the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023.[12] In the first game of the Women's World Cup against Olympic champions Canada, Nnadozie was the captain for the Super Falcons. She made three saves, including stopping a 50th-minute penalty from Christine Sinclair.[13] Her performances in the game secured a goalless draw for the Super Falcons, earned herself a Player of the Match award and garnered international attention.[14][15][16]
