Who is the youngest player in Champions League history? Max Dowman could set UCL record held by Dortmund kid

Max Dowman, 15, included in Arsenal's squad, could break the Champions League youngest player record before turning 16 at the end of 2025.

  • If Arsenal's 15-year-old winger Max Dowman takes the field this season, he would set a new record as the youngest participant ever in a Champions League match.
  • Dowman was born on December 31, 2009, and must appear before turning 16 to break Youssoufa Moukoko’s record set at 16 years and 18 days.
  • Dowman is included in Arsenal’s squad for their first Champions League match against Athletic Club in the 2025/26 league phase involving 36 teams.
  • Moukoko debuted for Borussia Dortmund in December 2020 at 16 years and 18 days, currently the youngest player to appear in the competition.
  • If Dowman plays in any of Arsenal’s first six league phase games before January 20, 2026, he would set a record hard to surpass in Champions League history.
