South American Coach and Player of the Year (original) (raw)

South American Player of the Year

[A South American player of the year has been awarded since 1971. From 1971 until 1992 the Venezuelan newspaper "El Mundo" awarded it, and it was open to any South American player. This award may be considered the official one until 1985. Since 1986 the Uruguayan newspaper El Pa�s chooses the "Rey del F�tbol de Am�rica" which has obtained official status. Only South American players of South American clubs are eligible.]
