    WHAT HAPPENED?

    The Premier Soccer League (PSL) has officially released a statement confirming the postponement of their end-of-season awards ceremony.

    This decision was made to accommodate Mamelodi Sundowns, who will be representing South Africa at the Fifa Club World Cup in the USA.

    With Sundowns still competing on the continental and global stage, the league felt it appropriate to delay the event.

    A new date for the awards ceremony will be announced in due course. The move allows all players and teams to be fully present when the accolades are handed out.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Fans across South Africa will have to wait a little longer to see who will be crowned Footballer of the Season. The main contenders are Lucas Ribeiro of Mamelodi Sundowns and Relebohile Mofokeng of Orlando Pirates.

    Ribeiro already secured the Golden Boot with 16 league goals. Mofokeng’s brilliance, especially in big games, has captured national attention. The delayed ceremony builds further anticipation for what could be one of the tightest races for the top award in years.
