Golden Foot award

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Golden Foot award is an international football award, given to players who stand out for their athletic achievements (both as individuals and team players), for their personality, and for the esteem of the public and football experts. The award is only given to players at least 29 years old.

The winner is chosen out of a ten nominees list decided by a jury consisting of the Golden Foot media partners representatives and of the fans from all over the world who give their preferential vote through the official site. The peculiarity of this award is that the winner leaves a permanent mould of his footprints on "The Champions Promenade", a sort of "Walk of Fame" of the international football on the seafront of the Principality of Monaco. Therefore, a football player can win the Golden Foot award only once.
