The Milliyet Sports Awards (Turkish: Milliyet Spor Ödülleri) are given by the Turkish daily Milliyet annually since 1954 in recognition of highest achievements in sports. The award is determined by a poll of Turkish professional footballers playing, athletes, teams, managers in Turkey and World. From 1954 until 2004, there was only one award "Turkish Athlete of the Year" or "Team of the Year".
