In football, the European Golden Boot has been awarded to the highest goalscorer in all the top European divisions each season since 1967/68. Since the 1996/97 season the award has depended on a weighted system of points, with goals scored in leagues with a higher UEFA coefficients being worth more. For example, a 25-goal player from Serie A would have more points and so a higher ranking than a 25-goal player from the League of Wales. Before this, the award was given to Europe's top goalscorer, regardless of which league he participated in.
