SJPF Young Player of the Month

The SJPF Young Player of the Month (often called Portuguese League Young Player of the Month) is an association football award that recognizes the best Portuguese League young player each month of the season and is conceived by the SJPF (syndicate of professional football players).

The award has been presented since the 2003–04 season and the recipient is based on individual scores assigned by the three national sports dailies (A Bola, Record and O Jogo).

The first winner of the award was João Moutinho in October 2006.

Only Portuguese players under age 23 are in contention to win the award.

Prior to the 2012–13 Primeira Liga season, the SJPF announced that the SJPF Primeira Liga Young Player of the Month award would be awarded to a player on a bimonthly status with one player receiving an award for two months of football that have been played.

João Moutinho won the award a record of six times.
Rui Patrício won the award five times.
Fábio Coentrão won the award four times.
