The Bravo Award was an annual award which was handed out by the Italian magazine Guerin Sportivo to the most outstanding young European footballer.[1]

The first winner of the award was Englishman Jimmy Case. The first non-European to win the award was Eli Ohana in 1988.[2]

The award was discontinued after the 2015 edition.[3]

History and regulations

In 1977, Guerin Sportivo's editorial staff established the award to celebrate the best young footballers in European football.[2] The jury was composed by Guerin Sportivo's and Radiocorriere TV's journalist as well as foreign sports journalists from the most important news outlets across Europe.[2]

Since the inception and until 1992, only under-23 players participating in one of the three European club cups (UEFA Champions League, UEFA Cup, UEFA Cup Winners' Cup) were eligible. The rules changed in 1992, when under-21 player from any European League became eligible, regardless of their participation in any European club cups.[2][3][4][5]

The winners were chosen for the autumn-spring season, not the calendar year.[3]
