Romanian Footballer of the Year

Gheorghe Hagi won the award a record of seven times.

The Romanian Footballer of the Year (Romanian: Fotbalistul român al anului) is an annual association football award given by the Gazeta Sporturilor newspaper to the Romanian player adjudged to have been the best during a calendar year. The current holder is Constantin Budescu, who won the award for his performances in 2017 representing Astra Giurgiu and FCSB.[1]

The award has been presented since 1966, the first winner being Argeș Pitești midfielder Nicolae Dobrin. Gheorghe Hagi, the joint leading goalscorer of the national team alongside Adrian Mutu, has received the trophy on most occasions. Other honours handed out by Gazeta Sporturilor include the Liga I Foreign Player of the Year and the Romania Coach of the Year awards.
