The South African Premier Soccer League (PSL) have officially announced the list of nominees for the 2019/20 PSL Awards.
The nominees include Uganda Cranes Captain Denis Onyango, who has been nominated in the category of the Goalkeeper of the Season.
Onyango helped Mamelodi Sundowns clinch last season’s league title, keeping eight clean sheets and will face competition from Kaizer Chiefs’ Daniel Akpeyi and Ronwen Williams of SuperSport United.
Onyangos’s Sundowns teammates Themba Zwane and Gaston Sirino have been included on the four-man shortlist for Player of the Season alongside Peter Shalulile (Highlands Park) and Samir Nurkovic (Kaizer Chiefs).
This year, there are four nominees instead of the normal three after the players were tied on votes and could not be separated even after using the provisions in the rules to eliminate names.
The awards will be held next week Thursday, 22nd October 2020 in a virtual event.
