The title Dutch Footballer of the Year (Voetballer van het Jaar) has been awarded in the Netherlands since 1984. The award is determined by a poll of Dutch professional footballers playing in the First (Eredivisie) and Second (Eerste Divisie) leagues.
Until 1997 it was an annual award, with the prize awarded at the end of the football season. In 2006 the award merged with the annual prize named Golden Shoe (Gouden Schoen), awarded since 1982 by the Dutch daily De Telegraaf and the Dutch football magazine Voetbal International.
The title Dutch Football Talent of the Year (Nederlands Voetbal Talent van het Jaar) has been awarded in the Netherlands since 1984 for footballers under 21. The award was renamed Johan Cruijff Prijs in 2003.
