There is also another award of the best footballer in the Ukrainian Premier League that was established in 1995 by the other newspaper Komanda. That award is not restricted to the Ukrainian nationals as in case of Ukrainian Football, but rather to the Premier League players.

Overview

From 1969 till 1990, the Ukrainian newspaper Molod Ukrainy ("Youth of Ukraine") conducted polls to determine the footballer of the year, and subsequently Ukrainskiy Football took over (which is published by the same publisher as Molod Ukrainy) from 1991. Until 1992 not all players who were honored as the Ukrainian Footballer were Ukrainians such as Yevhen Rudakov, Yuriy Voynov, Oleh Makarov, Vitaliy Starukhin, Vitaliy Holubyev, and Akhrik Tsveiba. Also there were number of "alien" players who did not win the award, but finished in the top three among which are Oleg Salenko, Volodymyr Veremeyev, Adamas Golodets, Viktor Terentiev, Andrei Zazroyev.

Before 1969, a similar award was given out by another Kiev publishers. The very first one was awarded in 1950 by the Football Federation of Ukraine, but its award discontinued in 1960. Since 1960, the honours of awarding player of the year was picked up by the weekly Radyanskyi sport ("Soviet sports"), which in 1965 changed its name to Sportyvna Hazeta ("Sports Gazette"). For unknown reasons, the tradition was interrupted and in 1968 it was given out by another former Kievan Russian language newspaper Komsomolskoe znamya ("Banner of the Communist Union of Youth"), which announced both Vasyl Turyanchyk and Volodymyr Muntyan as the best players of Ukraine, then the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic. As with the "Sportyvna Gazeta", it is unknown whether the newspaper continued to conduct such polls following years, but it is certain that this tradition was picked up by a Ukrainian language, Kiev-based newspaper Molod Ukrainy ("Youth of Ukraine") that conducted the voting since 1969 on regular basis.
