Footballer of the year in Denmark

The Footballer of the Year in Denmark has been voted by Danish players since 1963 under the leadership of the Danish Players Association. Since 2006 there has also been an award given by the television station TV 2 and the Danish Football Association .

Jens Petersen was the first Danish player to receive an award in 1963. In 1975, Henning Munk Jensen became the first player to receive the award for the second time, after he had been awarded the title for the first time in 1968.

The record title holder is Brian Laudrup with four awards as an outstanding Danish player. Brøndby IF is the club with the most award-winning players: a total of eight times the award was given to a player who was on the club's squad the year the title was awarded.
