The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that this
year’s CAF Awards will take place in Morocco on 11 December. South
Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns have been nominated for the Team of the Year
award, while two of their star players, goalkeeper Ronwen Williams and
striker Peter Shalulile, have been nominated for individual awards.
Williams, who joined Sundowns in a blockbuster move from SuperSport
United, has been nominated for the Best Goalkeeper award. He will compete
against Mohammed El Shanawy, Yassine Bonou, Andre Onana, and Edouard Mendy
amongst others.
Shalulile, meanwhile, has been nominated in the Player of the Year
category. He will compete against the likes of Mohamed Salah and Victor
Osimhen.
Sundowns will compete against the likes of Al Ahly, Raja Casablanca, Young
Africans, and Marumo Gallants for the Team of the Year award. Marumo
Gallants had a stellar run in the CAF Confederations Cup despite their
relegation from the Premiership.
The CAF Awards is an annual event that recognises the best African
footballers, teams, and coaches. This year’s ceremony will take place in
Marrakesh and is sure to be an exciting event for African football fans.
