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.

History

The inaugural winner was Guðni Kjartansson in 1973. Initially, the award could have been given to both male and female players. 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.

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. It is now chosen by a panel of officials, coaches and former players.
