Dos Santos was recognised with this nomination by a selection panel from the Australian Professional Leagues (APL), made up of various media members and football specialists who cast votes following each monthly evaluation.
In January, she featured six times, contributing to the Sky Blues with three draws and a win, netting her second goal of the season against Adelaide United.
The Boost Mobile Young Footballer of the Year nomination marks a significant month for Dos Santos, who extended her contract with Sydney FC for two more years in mid-January and was crowned Shark Player of the Month following a public vote from fans.
This nomination is Dos Santos’ third for the Boost Mobile Young Footballer of the Year in the 2024-25 season, following October/November nominee Mary Stanic-Floody from Canberra United and December’s Alexia Apostolakis from Melbourne City.
