Since 1987, the German based International Federation of Football History and Statistics have honoured the best world goalkeeper based upon yearly voting from a list of candidates. All specialised media (press, radio, television) plus a panel of experts make up the selection jury. They take into consideration the performances of goalkeepers with their clubs and national teams.

1 Buffon (Juventus) 185 votes;
2 Cech (Chelsea) 125;
