The Buccaneers had 13 nominations in nine categories, with Pirates attacking star Relebohile Mofokeng earning five nominations on his own.

The 20-year-old Mofokeng was nominated alongside Mamelodi Sundowns star striker Lucas Ribeiro and Sekhukhune United attacking midfielder Keletso Makgalwa for the two most prestigious awards – the PSL Footballer of the Season Award and the Betway Premiership Players' Player of the Season.

Mofokeng was also nominated for the Betway Premiership Young Player of the Season, MTN8 Last Man Standing and the Nedbank Cup Most Promising Player.

The skilful Buccaneers attacker won both the Nedbank Cup Most Promising Player and the Young Player of the Season awards in 2023/24.

This season, Mofokeng starred for Pirates as they won the MTN8, came second in the DStv Premiership, reached the semifinals of the Caf Champions League, and the final of the Nedbank Cup.
