Arsenal's young star Max Dowman has received three Guinness World Records certificates after setting new records in English and European football before his 17th birthday.
Guinness World Records shared the news in a post on its verified X account on Thursday. They recognized Dowman for his impressive rise in football.
The post said, "Three Guinness World Records titles before 17.
"@Arsenal’s Max Dowman has been presented with three official Guinness World Records certificates following his record-breaking rise through English and European football."
The post mentioned that the 16-year-old holds the record for being the youngest player to play in the UEFA Champions League, making his debut at 15 years and 308 days.
Arsenal won the title, their first in 22 years, when their rivals Manchester City could only manage a 1, 1 draw with Bournemouth.
It also highlighted that Dowman holds the record for the youngest goalscorer in the English Premier League, achieving this at 16 years and 73 days, and the youngest player to win the Premier League, at 16 years and 144 days.
Furthermore, Dowman is featured in the Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027, which was released on Thursday, as part of the publication's “Class of ’27.”
He received his winner’s medal at 16 years and 144 days, making him the youngest football player to win the Premier League.
He broke the previous record held by Manchester City’s Phil Foden by more than a year.
The 16-year-old winger made his first-team debut at the start of last season. He came on against Leeds United, becoming the second-youngest player in Premier League history, after his Arsenal teammate, Ethan Nwaneri.
PUNCH Online reports that this recognition adds to the teenager’s growing list of achievements as he continues to rise at Arsenal and in European football.
