Professional Footballers Australia (the PFA) is delighted to announce its partnership with Austraffic has been extended.
The 2024-25 A-Leagues season will mark the fourth consecutive year the traffic and transport data specialists have sponsored the PFA’s Players’ Awards.
The Awards include the peer-voted Austraffic A-Leagues Player of the Month and Austraffic PFA Footballer of the Year awards.
PFA Co-Chief Executive Kathryn Gill welcomed Austraffic on for another year of partnership.
“Austraffic has proudly partnered with our Players’ Awards for the past three years, celebrating the outstanding achievements of A-Leagues footballers and Australians playing professionally abroad, both on a monthly and annual basis.
“As we enter our fourth year together, Austraffic’s continued commitment to recognising player excellence enables us to elevate these player-voted awards.”
Austraffic Queensland Principal Martin Jordan-Williams said:
“We are delighted to continue our wonderful partnership with the PFA and their player awards for a fourth consecutive year, as we embark on yet another exciting A-Leagues season. The PFA’s player awards celebrate the excellence of Australians playing both in the A-Leagues and overseas, which aligns with our values at Austraffic. We can’t wait to see the next crop of players recognised throughout the next 12 months for their endeavours on the field.”
In October, the PFA revealed Steph Catley, Jackson Irvine, Mary Fowler and Alex Paulsen as 2024’s major Austraffic Award winners.
Throughout the 2024-25 A-Leagues season, PFA members will vote on the Austraffic Player of the Month. The best player in both A-Leagues competitions will be selected by the players from a shortlist of nominees, based on their performances.
