Get to know our story

Samba Gold was created by Samba Agency (Sambafoot) in 2008 and had former midfielder Kaká as its first winner. Neymar Jr. took home the trophy six times and became the biggest winner in the award’s history. Thiago Silva is second in the historical ranking, with three awards. In the 2023 edition, Vini Jr. was the public’s top choice.

Initially aimed exclusively at men’s soccer, Samba Gold has grown every year and now includes three categories: men’s, women’s and U-20.
