The inaugural COSAFA Awards were held in Johannesburg recently and brought out a galaxy of stars to celebrate our achievements as a football community in Southern Africa.
There were many big winners on the night, not least the Mamelodi Sundowns quartet of Rulani Mokwena, Ronwen Williams, Thapelo Maseko and Andile Dlamini, as we honoured those who took our game to the next level in 2023.
Aside from player and coach awards, referees were also recognised and there were five Lifetime Achievement recipients in the areas of players, coaching, women’s football, referees and the media.
We have lined up an special COSAFA Show podcast where we hear from the big winners on the night and listen to their stories of triumph.
