The PSSI Awards are annual football awards presented by the Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) to recognize players, match officials, organizations, development programs, supporters and other contributors to Indonesian football. The awards were first presented in 2026, marking the first awards ceremony organized by PSSI since its establishment 95 years earlier.
The inaugural ceremony was held on 28 March 2026 at Studio 6 Emtek City in Jakarta, with 17 awards presented across performance and special recognition categories. The awards were intended to recognize contributions to Indonesian football beyond players, including referees, provincial associations, grassroots programs, supporters and other personnel working in the sport.
History
PSSI introduced the awards in 2026 as a new annual recognition event for Indonesian football. The concept was introduced publicly at the Indonesia Sports Summit 2025, with the awards designed to recognize both individual sporting performances and contributions to the wider development of Indonesian football.
The first edition was held at Studio 6 Emtek City in West Jakarta on 28 March 2026. PSSI described the awards as a platform to appreciate not only footballers, but also referees, provincial football associations, sponsors, communities and people involved in football development from the grassroots level.
The 2026 edition featured 17 award categories. Nine categories recognized individual sporting performances and eight were classified as special recognition awards.
Selection
The performance-based awards included public participation through a voting process conducted from January to March 2026. Jay Idzes was selected as Men's Player of the Year after receiving more votes than Yakob Sayuri, Kevin Diks and Calvin Verdonk.
The evaluation also involved a panel consisting of people from different areas of Indonesian football, including active players, former players and football journalists.
More than 790,000 votes were reportedly recorded during the 2026 voting period, which included online and offline participation.
