Oceania Footballer of the Year

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Oceania Footballer of the Year award is presented to the best football (soccer) player from the Oceania region. The winner is chosen by a forum of journalists. The award is dominated by Australian players, though New Zealand's Wynton Rufer is tied with Harry Kewell for the most titles with 3. New Caledonia's Christian Karembeu has also won the award twice.
