Nuno Gomes was the first player to win the award twice in a row, in 2005.
The SJPF Player of the Month (often called Portuguese League Player of the Month ) is an association football award that recognizes the best Portuguese League player each month of the season and is conceived by the SJPF (syndicate of professional football players). The award has been presented since the 2003–04 season and the recipient is based on individual scores assigned by the three national sports dailies, A Bola , Record , and O Jogo . The first winner of the award was Beira-Mar midfielder Juninho Petrolina in September 2003.[ 1] Hulk has won the award six times. Pedro Barbosa became the first Portuguese to win the award in November 2003. The "Big Three " (Benfica , Porto and Sporting CP ) have had the most winners.
Prior to the 2012–13 Primeira Liga season, the SJPF announced that the SJPF Primeira Liga Player of the Month award would be awarded to a player on a bimonthly status with one player receiving an award for two months of football that have been played. The awards would be awarded during the following periods:[ 2]
