Milan striker Francesco Camarda, at the tender age of 16 years and 241 days, is set to make history today by becoming the youngest player to start a Serie A match for the Rossoneri in the three-point era. While this is a remarkable achievement in itself, Camarda will be just one day younger than Gianluigi Donnarumma, who held the previous record in 2015.
Despite his young age, Camarda has already broken several records, including becoming the youngest player to score in a Serie A game for Milan. This opportunity arises due to injuries to Alvaro Morata and Luka Jovic, while Tammy Abraham, while recovered from a shoulder injury, is not yet fully fit.
Interestingly, Camarda’s achievement is surpassed by eight other players who made their Serie A debuts at even younger ages. The youngest Serie A starter in history remains Amadeo Amadei, who started for Roma in 1937 at the age of 15 years and 288 days. Gianni Rivera, a Ballon d’Or winner, also debuted in Serie A for Alessandria at the age of 15 years and 290 days in 1959.
Other notable players who started their Serie A careers at younger ages than Camarda include Pietro Pellegri, who scored in his debut for Genoa in 2017 at 16 years and 78 days, and Silvio Piola, who played for Pro Vercelli in 1930 at the age of 16 years and 140 days.
Francesco Camarda’s start against [Opponent’s Team] marks a significant moment in his young career and a testament to his talent. It remains to be seen if he can build upon this opportunity and establish himself as a regular member of the Milan squad.
