Oscar del Calcio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Oscar del Calcio are awards given by Associazione Italiana Calciatori (Italian for "Italian Association of Footballers") to the best footballers of Italian Serie A. The winners of the prizes are chosen by the same footballers.
The awards are gold plated statues that have the form of a footballer in the act of kicking, the same symbol of AIC.
The first edition has been celebrated in 1997 and the awards were the following:
- Best Italian Footballer (Miglior Calciatore Italiano)
- Best Foreign Footballer (Miglior Calciatore Straniero)
- Best Young Footballer (Miglior Calciatore Giovane)
- Best Goalkeeper (Miglior Portiere)
- Best Coach (Miglior Allenatore)

From the edition of 2000, the award Best Defender (Miglior difensore) has been added to the event, while the prize Best Team has been pulled back.
