Fútbol de Primera Player of the Year
The Fútbol de Primera Player of the Year, formerly known as the Honda Player of the Year, recognizes the best player on the United States Men's National Soccer Team, as chosen by the national sports media.
The award was established by Fútbol de Primera in 1991, with Hugo Pérez being the first recipient. To celebrate award's tenth anniversary
The original one-of-a-kind bronze trophy was created by Robert M. Garcia, an Argentinian-born master jeweller from the San Francisco Bay Area, California. Garcia hand-drew various male soccer players before selecting the design, and then used a centuries-old bronze sculpture-making technique to craft the unique and beautiful award.
This award should not be confused with the U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year, given annually by the United States Soccer Federation.
