"It's a premiere for Konrad Laimer: FC Bayern's midfielder has been named Footballer of the Year for the first time and follows in the footsteps of David Alaba, who has won the title ten times (eight as an FC Bayern player). After Alaba, Laimer is the second Bayern pro to win the award. The last time a Bayern player won the vote was 2021."
"We're very glad Konrad Laimer has been named Austria's Footballer of the Year. As his compatriot, I'm particularly happy about the award, especially as I've known and accompanied him for a long time. Both at FC Bayern and in the national team, Konny has been an absolute role model in terms of reliability, passion, commitment and a team spirit that inspires everyone."
