Gylfi Sigurðsson, pictured here at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, is a nine-time winner of the men's award.
The Icelandic Footballer of the Year is an annual award chosen by a panel of officials, coaches and former players, to determine the best player in Iceland.[1]
History
The inaugural winner was Guðni Kjartansson in 1973. Initially, the award could have been given to both male and female players.[1] In 1994, Ásta B. Gunnlaugsdóttir became the first woman to win the award. In 1997, the award was split into men and women's categories.[1]
In 1989, Ólafur Þórðarson won the award whilst playing abroad, having played for Norwegian club Brann.
Up until 2004, the award had been chosen by the Football Association of Iceland.[1] It is now chosen by a panel of officials, coaches and former players.[2]
