Sofascore Player of the Season: Recognising statistical excellence in sport

The Sofascore Player of the Season award celebrates the most consistently—and objectively—excellent players in world football. Unlike subjective accolades, this award is purely data-driven, honouring players who achieve their league or tournament’s highest average Sofascore Rating at the end of the season. Featuring a unique design inspired by the legendary Zico, Sofascore’s Player of the Season is the most transparent award in football.

How winners are determined

Sofascore crowns Player of the Season winners in over 150 global leagues and tournaments annually. Winners are determined by a sophisticated algorithm that processes thousands of data points from every match. Every action on the pitch—goals, assists, passes, interceptions, successful dribbles, to name just a few—contributes to a player’s average season rating. This objective approach ensures that the Player of the Season is a true reflection of sustained excellence, rewarding those who perform at the highest level week in, week out.
