The "Samba Gold" (Samba d'Or) is a football award given to the best Brazilian footballer in Europe, as awarded by Sambafoot. The inaugural award was made in 2008. The Samba Gold is determined by three voter panels: journalists, fellow footballers and votes from Sambafoot's online readers. In 2021, a women's award was added for the first time, the women's award is given to the best Brazilian footballer in Brazil or abroad. An award for players aged 20 and under was added in 2022.
