Asian Footballer of the Year
- Asian Footballer of the Year
The Asian Footballer of the Year award is presented to the best football player from Asia. Officially awarded since 1994. The official name is Asian Football Confederation's Sanyo Player of the Year Award. Prior to 1994 it was awarded on an unofficial basis. The winners from 1988 to 1991 were chosen by IFFHS.
A controversial new rule in 2005 made attendance to the awards ceremony mandatory. This automatically excluded prominent Asian players playing their trade in European clubs from being even considered for the award. [http://www.rediff.com/sports/2005/dec/01foot.htm]
