The title Footballer of the Year (German: Fußballer des Jahres) has been awarded in Germany since 1960. Eligible are German players as well as non-German players playing in Germany.[1] In 1996, the title Women's Footballer of the Year (German: Fußballerin des Jahres) was awarded for the first time.[2] Both awards are determined by a poll of German football journalists from the Association of German Sports Journalists (Verband Deutscher Sportjournalisten) and the publication kicker.[3]
The current titleholders are İlkay Gündoğan of FC Barcelona and Alexandra Popp of VfL Wolfsburg.[4][5] In 2004, Brazilian Aílton became the first foreign player to attain the honour.[6]
From 1963 to 1991, the publication Die Neue Fußballwoche awarded the Footballer of the Year for East Germany award.
