International Competitions - March 14, 2020 14:30Futsalplanet Awards 2019Best Young Player in the World: nomineesDear futsal friends,
let's go with the 9th and penultimate category of the Futsalplanet Awards 2019, 20th edition of the most traditional and recognized futsal prizes released by Futsalplanet.com!
One of the weak points of our sport is still given by youth futsal and players formations but times are changing and things improving though not quickly as we would love to see. But, again, we repeat what we told you one year ago: let's work together and believe in youth futsal! Complaints won't work, our strong committment and support will definitely succeed!
This award, since 2004, is our little impulse for this battle: young talents will be the future stars. Have a look at the previous winners list, you will better realize what we're talking about!
So, get ready to know the ten nominees for the Best Young Player in the World category!
As per the past seasons we included in this list just players who were still 23 years old on December 31st, 2019.
