Alphonso Davies
Meet the superstar player nicknamed the Roadrunner. Alphonso Davies’s inspirational journey has taken him from a refugee camp in Ghana to footballing stardom in Germany with Bayern Munich. His determination, hard work and unmatched ability have made him one of Canada’s very few footballing idols.

Jude Bellingham
From Birmingham City to Real Madrid, Jude Bellingham is a star player wherever he goes. It’s almost impossible to believe that he wasn’t always obsessed with football. By the time he was seventeen years old, he already had a spot in England’s squad – and that’s just the beginning.

Gavi
Pablo Martín Páez Gavira, better known as Gavi, is a midfield force to be reckoned with. His risky head first sliding tackles and habit of always playing with his laces untied has earned him quite the reputation. Follow his journey as he rises through the footballing ranks.

Lee Kang-In
From boy wonder on reality TV to a global sensation on the world stage, Lee Kang-in’s journey to stardom is unlike any other. Determined to become the very best, he worked his way up the ranks at Valencia, represented Korea Republic in international tournaments and signed for one of the biggest football teams in the world. Emerging as one of South Korea’s most talented players, his rise to the top has only just begun.

Gianluigi Donnarumma
Gianluigi Donnarumma is one of the best goalkeepers in the world. Seen by many as a goalkeeping genius, he rose through the ranks at AC Milan before joining a word-class Paris Saint-Germain team that dominated the league. He also played a key role in Italy’s Euro 2020 journey, holding his nerve in a tense penalty shoot-out against England to see his country crowned as the champions of Europe.

Darwin Núñez
Darwin Núñez has often been called an ‘agent of chaos’. His unpredictable style of play confuses many fans, but it also confuses other teams and is one of many traits that make him a tricky opponent. As one of Uruguay’s best talents, he relentlessly tries to find the back of the net for both club and country. Darwin is truly a rising star playing the game his own way.

Jamal Musiala
When he was just seventeen years old, Jamal Musiala made it into Bayern Munich’s first team and took the Bundesliga by storm. As a standout star for both club and country, he is quickly becoming one of Germany’s greatest young players. With Jamal’s help, Germany aim to create a new golden generation who can take them to victory over and over again.

Vinícius Jr.
Vinícius Jr is a magician with the ball at his feet. As a tricky winger who plays with confidence and flair, he knows how to get the better of any opposition. He is a key player for Real Madrid and a sensation for Brazil. His rise to the top has only just begun, and he’s already showing a lot potential and promise.

Julián Álvarez
Julián Álvarez is one of Argentina’s greatest young players. He won the World Cup and Copa América with Argentina and the Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup with Manchester City. As he begins a new chapter of his career with Atlético Madrid, he continues to rise to the very top and put his all into every game. There is no telling what else he can achieve.

Declan Rice
Known for his stamina and strength in midfield, Declan Rice is a key player for England and Arsenal. Without him, both club and country would’ve struggled to escape some tricky situations in important matches over the years! No matter how tough things get, he remains reliable. From being released from Chelsea’s academy aged fourteen for being too small to playing on the world stage, Declan’s journey was unlike any other.
