Idol Nacije

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bosnian footballer of the year, since 2008 renamed to Idol Nacije (English translation: 'The iIdol of the nation), is an annual award given to the best Bosnian football player of the year, as well as recognising and awarding other sports men and women, coaches and game officials in the country. The event was held in 2001 under the BiH banner for the first time, with Sergej Barbarez winning the most prestigious award for best player of the year, and again in 2003.[1][2][3]

Since 2008, the show is organized by sports news/media website SportSport.ba and is broadcast on NTV Hayat and is expanded to include many other award categories. Edin Džeko won three Idol Nacije awards in a row.[4][5] Vedad Ibišević and Asmir Begović were the only other Idol of the nation winners. For the 2010 awards, it was decided that former player Muhamed Konjić would nominate 10 players for the main award of player of the year. In 2008 Sergej Barbarez had this honor, while Mehmed Baždarević received the task in 2009.[6]

The show was not held for 2011, without any official reason being given. Finally, on June 15 it was announced that the ceremony for 2011 would be held before the end of June, and that all future events will take place during the summer, rather than the winter.[7] The awards will therefore be given for performances during the last season, rather than for the last calendar year.[8]
