Armenian Footballer of the Year

Armenian Footballer of the Year
[[Henrikh Mkhitaryan]] has been chosen as the Armenian Footballer of the Year twelve times, more than any other player.

Armenian Footballer of the Year is an annual award given to the best professional Armenian football player. The winner is elected by Football Federation of Armenia members, referees, inspectors, coaches, captains and presidents of the Armenian Premier League clubs, as well as the journalists and media. On the same occasion, an award is also given for Armenian Coach of the Year.

History

The same year the Football Federation of Armenia was founded, an award for the best Armenian football player began being annually given. The first award was given to former Armenia national football team captain Sargis Hovsepyan in 1992. Hovsepyan, who became the first player to win the award three times, is currently second to Henrikh Mkhitaryan who has won the award twelve times (including seven times in a row from 2011 to 2017). Arthur Petrosyan and Armen Shahgeldyan have both won the award twice. Edgar Manucharyan became the youngest player to win the award in 2004 at the age of 16. Hovsepyan became the oldest player to win the award in 2008 at the age of 36.

List of recipients

[[Sargis Hovsepyan]] won the inaugural award in 1992. He was also the first person to receive the award a second and a third time.
