With the semi-finals taking place this Monday, 7 April we will soon find out which two FNB Varsity Cup team will advance and contest the final, but before we enter the championship round it's that time of the tournament where we focus on the players who had the most impressive debut this season and have been nominated for the Suzuki Rookie of the Year award!

To qualify as a rookie, a player must have made his debut in the 2025 tournament and not taken the field previously in a Varsity Cup game. The coaches of all 8 teams were asked to nominate players who made the most notable impression in their debut this season and the three players with the most nominations are now being put to a public vote.

Here are the three players who received the most nominations from the coaches for the Suzuki Rookie of Varsity Cup 2025. The public can now cast their votes from Monday 7 April until 9.30 am on Thursday 10 April and the winner will be the nominee with the most votes at the deadline.
