CNID Footballer of the Year

Luís Figo won the award six times.

The CNID Footballer of the Year (often called the Portuguese Footballer of the Year) was an annual award given to the player who was adjudged to have been the best of the year in Primeira Liga. Between 1970 and 2000 this award was given to a Portuguese footballer playing in a foreign country or any player in Portuguese first League. Since 2006 this award only distinguished the best footballers to play in the Portuguese first League, so was called Primeira Liga Footballer of the Year, and the winner is chosen by a vote amongst the members of the Sports National Press Club (CNID).

The CNID Footballer of the Year award (from 1970 to 2000) has been presented since 1970, when the inaugural winner was S.L. Benfica forward Eusébio, and the award was conceded by the Portuguese newspaper Diário Popular. The latest winner of the award was Luís Figo in 2000. Seven players have won the award on more than one occasion. Luís Figo has won the award on the most occasions, having won six times in a row.

The first CNID Footballer of the Year or Primeira Liga Footballer of the Year award (from 2006 to 2012) was won by Ricardo Quaresma in 2006, and the latest winner as of 2011–12 was F.C. Porto winger Hulk. He is the first player to win this award more than one time.
