The FIFA Club World Cup 202 has, as expected, delivered a feast of fantastic football and a glut of goals. But beyond the established stars, a new generation is making its mark. Among the players ripping nets are a host of teenage superstars-in-waiting, fearlessly stepping onto the world stage and leaving an indelible impression.
Here, we count down the top five youngest goalscorers at the global showpiece, with FC Porto remarkably featuring twice in the top five. These are the talents lighting up the tournament and hinting at a bright future for global football.
5. Claudio Echeverri: 19 years, 5 months, and 21 days (Manchester City)
Plucking teen sensations from South America has long been a productive line of talent for European heavyweights, and Manchester City may be onto another winner with Claudio Echeverri. Already a breakout star for River Plate, the midfielder arrived in England following in the footsteps of compatriot Julián Álvarez. While Echeverri’s City career got off to a less than favorable start with an FA Cup final loss on his debut, he quickly notched a stunning free-kick against Al Ain in just his third outing in sky blue, giving fans a tantalizing glimpse of his immense talent.
4. Tyrique George: 19 years, 4 months, 21 days (Chelsea)
They might be better known for big-money transfers, but Chelsea boasts one of the most productive academies in world football, and Tyrique George is living proof. The Camden-born youngster has enjoyed an outstanding maiden season in Chelsea’s first team, racking up 27 appearances. His third goal of the season, a deflected strike from the edge of the area, put the seal on a convincing win over Espérance, showcasing his growing influence.
3. William Gomes, 19 years, 3 months, 9 days (FC Porto)
Tricky winger William Gomes arrived at FC Porto with a fearsome reputation after an impressive debut campaign with São Paulo. The Portuguese giants have a storied history of providing a springboard for young talent from both at home and abroad. It was unsurprising, then, to see one of their recent recruits producing a show-stopping curling strike against Al Ahly, a goal that truly made the world sit up and take notice of his burgeoning ability.
2. Senny Mayulu, 19 years, 29 days (Paris Saint-Germain)
The images of Senny Mayulu celebrating his UEFA Champions League final goal in the 5-0 rout of Internazionale last month went viral for the sheer, unparalleled joy on the young Parisian’s face. Fast forward to the Club World Cup, and the 19-year-old continued his scoring hot streak by providing a clinical finish in PSG’s dominant 4-0 demolition of Atlético Madrid. His composure and knack for goal clearly transcend competitions.
1. Rodrigo Mora, 18 years, 1 month, 19 days (FC Porto)
It is perhaps a testament to the bountiful array of youth talent that Porto has become famous for that they hold two positions on this prestigious list. Rodrigo Mora has been attracting suitors across Europe with his impressive performances in Liga NOS this year, and his wonderfully composed finish against Al Ahly will have done his burgeoning reputation no harm at all. At just 18, Mora stands as the youngest player to find the net in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025, a testament to his maturity and skill beyond his years.
