Relebohile Mofokeng walked out of the PSL Awards on Monday evening with three trophies and an estimated R500 000 in prize money — the perfect farewell from a player who just left Orlando Pirates for Union SG in Belgium.
Mofokeng Wins Multiple PSL Awards
The Bafana Bafana winger took the PSL Footballer of the Season, beating Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Teboho Mokoena and his former Bucs team-mate Oswin Appollis. He then claimed the Betway Premiership Players' Player of the Season ahead of Appollis and Kamogelo Sebelebele, before completing the sweep with the Betway Premiership Young Player of the Season award, edging TS Galaxy's Sihle Mahlambi and Golden Arrows youngster Isaac Cissé.
The prize money breakdown, based on the structure used the previous season, tells the story clearly: R250 000 for Footballer of the Season, R200 000 for Players' Player of the Season, and R50 000 for Young Player of the Season — R500 000 combined if the PSL kept the same structure for 2025/26. That has not been officially confirmed, but the numbers stack up.
Strong Statistics Earn World Cup Selection
Those awards were earned on the back of 10 goals and eight assists across 27 Betway Premiership appearances — numbers that also secured Mofokeng a place in Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana FIFA World Cup 2026 squad. Orlando Pirates dominated the full awards list, with coach Abdeslam Ouaddou taking Coach of the Season, Sipho Chaine winning Goalkeeper of the Season, Lebone Seema claiming Defender of the Season, and Appollis picking up Midfielder of the Season. It was a clean sweep that reflects just how thoroughly Pirates controlled the 2025/26 campaign.
