What an Oscar means to a star on the white screen, is what the award for the Best Professional Football Player of the Year means to our heroes on the green pitch. It’s the ultimate award for the stars of the season, elected by their peers.

In 2006 this election was broadcast on national television for the first time. On Sunday 7th of May the Flemish één and the Walloon La Deux broadcast The Gala of the Professional Football Player of the Year 2006. It was a varied show with seven awards, surprising clips and the most remarkable and beautiful moments of the past football season. 

Midfielder Mbark Boussoufa of AA Gent was elected Best Professional Football Player of the year at the end of the live show.
