Champions Mamelodi Sundowns dominate PSL Awards nominations

The Premier Soccer League released the list of nominees for its end-of-the-season awards as they were unveiled on Thursday.

As expected, new 2022/23 DStv Premiership champions, Mamelodi Sundowns are dominating the list of nominees and are followed by Orlando Pirates.

Judging the list in a statement that was issued to the media by the league’s governing body, Kaizer Chiefs players have failed to impress the adjudicators.
