History

The award was created by Bengt Liljedahl[1] and between 1946 and 1965 it was awarded in cooperation with Stockholms-Tidningen.[2]

The first Guldbollen award was given in 1946 to Gunnar Gren.[3] In 1973, Bo Larsson of Malmö FF became the first player to win the award for a second time, having previously won it in 1965. Zlatan Ibrahimović is the only player to win the award more than twice, winning it twelve times between 2005 and 2020.[4]

The female equivalent of the award, Diamantbollen, was established in 1990. Both Guldbollen and Diamantbollen are now awarded at the Fotbollsgalan.
