Prva HNL Player of the Year (Tportal)

The Prva HNL Player of the Year award (Croatian: Najbolji igrač Prve HNL) is an annual association football award given by the Croatian web portal Tportal.hr. It is awarded to the best football player who plays in the Prva HNL (or "1. HNL"), Croatian top flight. The winner is chosen by captains of all Prva HNL clubs.[1]

The award was established in 2003. Eduardo and Sammir hold the record for most wins with two awards. The current award holder is El Arabi Hillel Soudani of GNK Dinamo Zagreb.[2]

Another similar award is the Yellow Shirt Award which is based on aggregate player ratings in matches throughout the season as judged by the country's only sports daily Sportske novosti.
