Idol Nacije

The Bosnian Footballer of the Year, renamed to Idol Nacije (English translation: The Idol of the nation) in 2008, is an annual award given to the best Bosnian football player of the year, as well as recognising and awarding other sports men and women, coaches and game officials in the country.

The event was held in 2001 under the Bosnian banner for the first time, with Sergej Barbarez winning the most prestigious award for best player of the year.

Edin Džeko won three Idol Nacije awards in a row.

In 2008 Sergej Barbarez had this honor, while Mehmed Baždarević received the task in 2009.
