The Belgian Ebony Shoe (Dutch: Ebbenhouten schoen, French: Soulier d'ébène) is a football award given annually to the best African player (or of African origin) in the Belgian Pro League. The jury is composed of the coaches of Jupiler League clubs, the Belgian national team manager, sport journalists, and honorary juror. As of 2011, Mbark Boussoufa (3 wins), Daniel Amokachi (2 wins) and Vincent Kompany (2 wins) are the only players to have won the trophy more than once.
