Gullballen

The award replaced Kniksen of the Year as the main award given to the best Norwegian footballer in a calendar year.

In 2015, Ada Hegerberg became the first woman to win the award.

[citation needed] Gullballen has been given out at Norwegian sport award Idrettsgallaen since 2015.

From 2018, the Gullballen has been awarded to both a male and female footballer.
