The South African goalkeeper will battle Nigeria's Ademola Lookman, who many have tipped as the favourite to win the award, Morocco's Achraf Hakimi, Guinea's Serhou Guirassy, and Ivory Coast's Simon Adingra.
The Bafana Bafana shot-stopper won the Premier Soccer League Player of the Season last campaign and made the top ten best goalkeepers at the 2024 Ballon d'Or award a few months ago.
Williams has also been nominated for two other awards, one of which is the Men's Goalkeeper of the Year award, alongside Andre Onana and Yahia Fofana.
The third award is the CAF Inter-Club Player of the Year award. He will battle Ahmed Zizo and Hussein El Shahat for the top prize, which his Bafana Bafana teammate Percy Tau won last year.
Williams reacts to Sundowns' draw for FIFA CWC
Briefly News earlier reported that Williams commented on Mamelodi Sundowns' draw for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup set to hold in the United States of America next year.
The Bafana Bafana goalkeeper is expected to lead his side when they come up against some of the best clubs in the world in 2025.
