The Swiss Footballer of the Year is an annual award given to the best footballer based in Switzerland and the best Swiss national team player. From the 1972–73 season until the 1997–98 season, the award was chosen by the now defunct Swiss newspaper Sport. Since the original award could only be won by a Swiss national, there was also a Foreigner of the Year award from 1973–74 until 1997–98. Since 1998, two Player of the Year trophies have been awarded each year; one to the best player in the Swiss Super League known as the Axpo Swiss Super League Player of the Year and the other to the best national team player known as the Credit Suisse Player of the Year.
