Serie A Player of the Month

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paulo Dybala has won the award a joint-record four times.

The Serie A Player of the Month, officially known as the EA Sports FC Player of the Month for sponsorship reasons,[1] is an association football award that recognises the best player each month in Serie A, the top tier of the Italian football league system. The winner is chosen by an online public vote, in which voters choose from five nominees.[2] The nominees are chosen through analysis by data tracking software, which consider statistical data, positional data and the contribution to the technical and physical efficiency of the team.[2]

The first award was assigned to Fiorentina player Franck Ribéry for his performances in September 2019. Paulo Dybala and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have won the award a joint-record four times; they and Rafael Leão are the only three players to win the award multiple times in the same season, while Kvaratskhelia is the only player to win in consecutive months. Napoli players have won the award a record nine times, and they alongside Atalanta are the only clubs to have players win the award in consecutive months. Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Dybala and Dušan Vlahović are the only players to win the award with two different teams: AC Milan and Inter Milan for Çalhanoğlu, Juventus and Roma for Dybala, and Fiorentina and Juventus for Vlahović.[3]

Kalidou Koulibaly, Kim Min-jae, Alessandro Bastoni and Riccardo Calafiori are the only defenders to win the award, which has been given to 11 midfielders and 28 forwards. It has also been given to foreign players 38 times; the most represented foreign country is Argentina (eight titles), followed by Portugal (five), Serbia and Georgia (four each). The most recent winner is Napoli's Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who won it for his performances in September 2024.[3]
