About the ECA Awards

The ECA Awards were first introduced in 2010 and were held yearly until 2018. Following a short pause, the decision has been made to reintroduce the ECA Awards in its new shape and with new categories in 2021, with the clear aim of promoting and rewarding outstanding achievements from ECA Member Clubs which can serve as inspiration for the whole ECA membership and wider football community. The winners will be announced during the 26th ECA General Assembly taking place on 6-7 September 2021 in Geneva, Switzerland.
