Annual award
The Professional Footballers' Association Scotland Team of the Year (often called the PFA Scotland Team of the Year , or simply the Team of the Year ) is an annual award given to a set of 44 footballers in the four national tiers of the Scottish football league system , who are seen to be deserving of being named in a "Team of the Year". The award is compiled by the members of the players' trade union , Professional Footballers' Association Scotland (PFA Scotland), with the winners then being voted for by the other players in their respective divisions.[ 1] The award was instituted in the 2006–07 season.[ 2] [ 3] In that first season, the award was voted for by the managers in each division.[ 3]
The award was expanded to include the Scottish Women's Premier League (SWPL) in 2021–22.[ 4]
