Template:Short description Template:Infobox sports award Guldbollen (Golden Ball) is a Swedish football award given by Aftonbladet and the Swedish Football Association to the best male Swedish footballer each year.
HistoryEdit
The award was created by Bengt Liljedahl<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> and between 1946 and 1965 it was awarded in cooperation with Stockholms-Tidningen.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The first Guldbollen award was given in 1946 to Gunnar Gren.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> In 1973, Bo Larsson of Malmö FF became the first player to win the award for a second time, having previously won it in 1965. Zlatan Ibrahimović is the only player to win the award more than twice, winning it twelve times between 2005 and 2020.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
The female equivalent of the award, Diamantbollen, was established in 1990. Both Guldbollen and Diamantbollen are now awarded at the Fotbollsgalan.
