Mamelodi Sundowns stars Khuliso Mudau and Teboho Mokoena have both been nominated for the CAF Inter-Club Player of the Year award, giving the South African champions a strong presence in the continental football recognition.

The nominations place the two players among the individuals being considered for one of the Confederation of African Football's major individual honours, recognising outstanding performances in African club competitions.

Mudau and Mokoena have been important members of the Sundowns squad, contributing to the club's performances on the domestic and continental stages. Their recognition reflects the quality and consistency they have demonstrated while representing the Pretoria-based side.

The nominations are also a significant achievement for Mamelodi Sundowns, as having two players from the same club shortlisted in one category highlights the team's influence in African football.

For South African football, the development provides another opportunity to attract continental attention, with the Brazilians continuing to represent the country among Africa's leading clubs.

Sundowns supporters will now be hoping that one of the two players can go a step further and claim the prestigious individual award.

The final outcome will depend on the CAF award selection process, but the nominations alone represent an important recognition for both Mudau and Mokoena, as well as the club they represent.
