Iceland's Player of the Year
Iceland's Player of the Year ( Icelandic Knattspyrnukona ársins ) is an Icelandic football award given to the best Icelandic player.
history
Iceland's Footballer of the Year award has been given since 1973, with the award initially being given to both male and female players. But only in 1994, Ásta Breiðfjörð Gunnlaugsdóttir, a woman was awarded the title. Since 1997 there has been a separate award for female soccer players. The first award winner was Guðrún Jóna Kristjánsdóttir . The record winner is Margrét Lára Viðarsdóttir , who was elected five times. In the RSSSF statistics from May 2003, players are also listed for the years 1988 to 1996. For the years 1997 to 2002, the players listed there agree with those of the association statistics except for 1998. According to RSSSF, Olga Færseth , the top scorer of the Icelandic league, was elected that year. The association statistics, however, name record national player Katrín Jónsdóttir .
Until 2004 only female players playing in Iceland were chosen. In 2004 the voting mode was changed. By then, the Icelandic Football Association had determined the players to be awarded. Since 2004, the best player has been chosen by a committee made up of officials, coaches and former players. In 2005, Ásthildur Helgadóttir, who played in Sweden , was awarded to a female legionnaire for the first time. She had won the title twice in a row in 2002 and 2003 and was also the first to receive three awards. Since 2005, the majority of the award-winning players have also been playing abroad.
