Why Perpetua Nkwocha ranks #38 in Football
Perpetua Nkwocha ranks 38th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 61st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 93, Longevity 86, Honours 88, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2000–2016 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2008, which sets the Peak component at 93. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 93 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes african player of the year awards 4, africa cup of nations titles 4, nigeria goals 80, world cup appearances 4.
Immediately ahead sits Jenni Hermoso on 89.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Gianluigi Buffon on 89.0. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
