The title Kazakhstani Footballer of the Year (Қазақстанның ең үздік футболшысы) has been awarded in Kazakhstan since 1992. The award is determined by a poll of Kazakhstani professional journalists, football coaches, specialists, veterans and captains of playing teams of Premier League. Generally there are two different pools. The first one is conducted by the Football Federation (1992–2005, 2008) and others are conducted by football journal GOAL (starting from 1999) and sports.kz (starting from 2011).
