About the election
The election for the Eredivisie Player of the Month, Johan Cruijff Talent of the Month, and the Eredivisie Team of the Month is based on statistics from Opta and votes from football fans (KPN Man of the Match). These criteria also factor into the selection for the Eredivisie Player of the Year and Johan Cruijff Talent of the Year. These awards are presented at the end of the season during the Eredivisie Awards.
The monthly elections are an initiative of Eredivisie CV in collaboration with ESPN, the Johan Cruyff Foundation, and VriendenLoterij. This partnership aims to celebrate and promote excellence in Dutch football, recognizing both individual talents and team performances throughout the season.
