It was held every year in the month of January, from 1993 to 2003. Starting from 2004, it is being held in February.
The rules for the vote are similar to those of the France Football award; in particular, each voter choses 5 players, at most 2 of the same nationality, in order; these obtain 5 to 1 points. (The nationality restriction was dropped for the 2003 vote, in which voting was restricted to 173 pre-selected players.)
