Hugo Broos, Ronwen Williams, Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana make cut in 2024 Caf awards final shortlist

On Thursday, the Confederation of African Football announced the final shortlist for the 2024 Caf Awards.

Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams has been shortlisted in three distinct categories, and Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos has also received acknowledgment.

South Africa has been nominated in the Best Team of the Year category. Additionally, Andile Dlamini, the goalkeeper for Sundowns’ ladies' team, has also made the shortlist in this year's awards.

Williams has enjoyed an exceptional 2024 calendar year, aiding Bafana Bafana in securing third place at the most recent Africa Cup of Nations held in Ivory Coast earlier this year.

The Masandawana goalkeeper gained global recognition after being nominated for the Yachine Trophy at the 2024 Ballon d’Or Awards, where he achieved a ninth-place finish.

Moreover, Broos led his team to a bronze medal for the first time in 24 years. He also helped South Africa qualify for the 2025 Afcon finals in Morocco without losing any matches during the qualifying rounds.

Considering South Africa and its athletes' performance in 2024, it will not be surprising if they return with accolades from the ceremony.

The awards ceremony is scheduled for Monday, 16 December 2024, in Marrakesh, Morocco.
