Ilya The Lev Yashin Goalkeeper of the Year Prize is an annual award for the best goalkeeper of the football season in the USSR, and then in Russia. Established in 1960 after the Soviet Union team won gold at the first European Football Championship. The first prize was received by the goalkeeper of Dynamo Moscow and the national team Lev Yashin. The prize was named in his honor.
The competition was started by Ogonyok magazine. After the magazine entered the Kommersant structure in 2009, it is awarded by the publishing house.
Candidates for the prize were goalkeepers who played 15 or more matches in the past season Russian Premier League and Cup. The winner is determined by the Kommersant editorial board based on reader voting after consultation with football experts.
In total, the award was presented 60 times, of which 31 in the USSR, 29 in Russia. < /b>For a long time, the record holder for the number of awards was the goalkeeper of the Moscow Spartak Rinat Dasaev. He was recognized as the best goalkeeper of the country six times (1980, 1982, 1983, 1985, 1987, 1988).
In 2013, his record was broken by army player Igor Akinfeev, who received his seventh award. He now has 11 victories in the competition (2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012/13, 2013/14, 2016/17, 2017/18 and 2022/2023).
The prize was awarded three times each to Lev Yashin (Dynamo, Moscow), Evgeniy Rudakov(“Dynamo”, Kyiv), Stanislav Cherchesov (“Spartak”, Moscow), Sergei Ovchinnikov (“Lokomotiv”, Moscow), Vyacheslav Malafeev(Zenit, St. Petersburg).
Lokomotiv goalkeeper Marinato Guilherme is the only award winner born outside the post-Soviet space (citizen of Brazil, since 2015 – Russia).
The record holders for the number of awards are the goalkeepers of Moscow Spartak. The goalkeepers of this team were recognized as the best 14 times: Rinat Dasayev (6), Stanislav Cherchesov (3), Alexander Prokhorov (2), Alexander Filimonov (1), Artem Rebrov (1) and Alexander Maksimenko (1).
In second place are the goalkeepers of CSKA, who have 13 awards: 11 – for Igor Akinfeev, and 1 each for Soviet footballers Yuri Pshenichnikov and Vladimir Astapovsky.
The goalkeepers of Moscow “Lokomotiv” round out the top three – 7 awards: Sergey Ovchinnikov (3), Ruslan Nigmatullin (2), Vladimir Maslachenko (1), Marinato Guilherme (1).
The goalkeepers of Dynamo (Tbilisi), Torpedo (Moscow), Shakhtar (Donetsk), Rotor (Volgograd), Rostov (Rostov-on-Don), and Krasnodar (Krasnodar) also became laureates of the award. The award was not presented in 1978 and 1999, as the editorial board “did not find a worthy candidate.” Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the best goalkeeper was also not determined at the end of the 2019/20 season.
