Israeli Footballer of the Year

The title Footballer of the Year of Israel has been bestowed annually since 1960 by the Israeli newspaper Maariv at the end of each season. In the years 1963, 1966 and 1991 two players have been honoured. Mordechai Spiegler, who is considered the foremost player in Israeli football history, has between 1964 and 1971, been given the accolade a record four times.
