Austraffic and PFA enter fifth year of partnership celebrating player excellence

Professional Footballers Australia (PFA) is proud to announce the renewal of its partnership with Austraffic for a fifth consecutive year.

The partnership continues a shared commitment between the PFA and Austraffic to recognising and celebrating the achievements of Australia’s professional footballers through the prestigious PFA Players’ Awards.

Since 2021, Austraffic – a leader in traffic and transport data collection and analysis – has supported the PFA’s peer-voted awards, including the Austraffic A-Leagues Player of the Month and the Austraffic PFA Footballer of the Year Awards.

These honours are widely regarded as the most meaningful accolades in Australian football, as they are voted on by the players themselves.

The partnership has elevated the visibility of player excellence across both domestic and international competitions, with recent winners including Aziz Behich and Nicolas Milanovic. The Austraffic 2025 PFA Women’s Footballer of the Year and Austraffic 2025 PFA Young Women’s Footballer of the Year will be revealed next week.

PFA Chief Executive Beau Busch welcomed the continued collaboration:

“We are delighted to extend our partnership with Austraffic into a fifth year,” Busch said.

“Their support has helped us shine a spotlight on the incredible performances of our members, both in the A-Leagues and on the global stage.

“These awards are a celebration of peer recognition, and Austraffic’s commitment has been instrumental in their growth and impact.”

Austraffic Queensland Principal Martin Jordan-Williams added:

“Our partnership with the PFA reflects our shared values of excellence, integrity and community. We are proud to continue supporting the players who inspire fans across Australia and beyond, and we look forward to another exciting season of recognising their achievements.”

The Austraffic A-Leagues Player of the Month Award remains the only peer-voted monthly honour in Australian football, while the PFA Players’ Awards, established in 2009, continue to honour the best male and female footballers, as well as emerging talent through the Harry Kewell Medal and Young Women’s Footballer of the Year.

The PFA’s A-League Men and A-League Women Team of the Season are sponsored by the organisation’s Official Currency Exchange SportsFX.
