About the awards
The selection of the Eredivisie Player of the Month, the Johan Cruyff Talent of the Month, and the Eredivisie Team of the Month is based on Opta statistics and votes from football fans (KPN Man of the Match). These criteria also contribute to the selection of the Eredivisie Player of the Year and Johan Cruyff Talent of the Year. These annual awards are presented at the end of the season during the Eredivisie Awards. The monthly selections are an initiative of the Eredivisie CV in collaboration with ESPN, the Johan Cruyff Foundation, and VriendenLoterij.
