This year, the organisers announced six categories: men's and women's Golden Balls, best young male and female players, best foreign player and best futsal (indoor football) player.
In the most wanted class of men's Golden Ball, the organisers on November 23 announced 20 candidates.
Defending champions Becamex Binh Duong and the runners-up Ha Noi T&T contributed half of the number.
The highlighted names are Nguyen Anh Duc and Le Cong Vinh of Becamex Binh Duong and Nguyen Van Quyet and Pham Thanh Luong of Ha Noi T&T as the most potential candidates.
Song Lam Nghe An, another football hub of the country, have three names.
Captain Duc is the best player of V. League 1 2015.
In the women's category, HCM City and Hanoi nominated eight out of 11 candidates.
In the young male player pool, Do Duy Manh of Hanoi T&T, who is also named in the Golden Ball list is the strongest nominee.
Manh, 19, has been a key member in his club, the national U21, U23 and the national squads.
Manh is the best young player of the V. League 1 which is managed by the Vietnam Professional Football Joinstock Company.
Vo Huy Toan of Da Nang, and Nguyen Cong Phuong and Nguyen Tuan Anh of Hoang Anh Gia Lai are Manh's strong rivals.
In the foreign player class, there are 10 candidates including the national best scorer Tambwe Patiyo of Quang Nam.
It is the first time futsal players are being honoured in this annual event. Twelve nominees, nearly half of them members of national champions Thai Son Nam Club, are vying for the title.
