Footballer of the Year in Germany

The title Footballer of the Year (German: Fußballer des Jahres) has been awarded in Germany since 1960. In 1996 the title Women's Footballer of the Year was awarded for the first time. Both awards are determined by a poll of German football journalists from the Association of German Sports Journalists (Verband der Deutschen Sportjournalisten) and the publication kicker.[1] Eligible are German players abroad and players in Germany.

In 2004, the Brazilian Aílton became the first foreign player to attain this honour. The most recent titleholders are Jérôme Boateng from FC Bayern Munich and Alexandra Popp from VfL Wolfsburg.
