Goal of the Month (Germany)

Honored are spectacular or important football goals mostly scored in or for Germany.

The Goal of the Month Award and the Goal of the Year Award were incepted in 1971 by the German TV station ARD, back then one of only two public broadcasting agencies in Germany, in its Saturday evening "Sportschau" report in the channel of Das Erste.

Each month, the GotM is held, and five especially spectacular, unusual or important goals are shortlisted for the viewers to vote on.

Up to 12 winners (usually less due to breaks in winter and summer) are eligible for the big annual event, the GotY Award.

Teams (as of February 2011): Most GotM per Team and Year: See also Category:kicker-Torjägerkanone Award winners for the top scorer of each season.
