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 (German: Fußballerin des Jahres) was awarded for the first time.[1] 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.[2] Eligible are German players abroad and players in Germany.
The current titleholders are Toni Kroos from Real Madrid and Dzsenifer Marozsan from Olympique Lyonnais.[3] In 2004, the Brazilian Aílton became the first foreign player to attain the honour.
