Annual football award by Polish Piłka Nożna weekly From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Piłka Nożna magazine plebiscite (Polish: Plebiscyt Piłki Nożnej) is an annual plebiscite organized by the journalists of Piłka Nożna (literally "Foot Ball"), the Polish football weekly. Jurors choose the best men's player, women's player, newcomer, team, coach and foreigner in Polish football, as well as the best performing top-flight and second-tier players.
The title of Polish Footballer of the Year has been awarded every year since 1973.[1] Kazimierz Deyna, a midfielder for Legia Warsaw, was the inaugural winner of the award, and Mirosław Bulzacki was named the Newcomer of the Year.[2] Since then, the plebiscite has been expanded to include more categories. In 2015, the women's player of the year category was introduced. As of 2024, Robert Lewandowski holds the record number of 11 wins followed by Ebi Smolarek with 3 wins. Franciszek Smuda and Paweł Janas are the joint-record winners in the Coach of the Year category with 4 wins each.
Before 1973, similar polls were conducted by Polish weekly newspaper Sport based in Katowice, but less frequently.[3]
