The year 2024 has been a landmark year for Christos Mouzakitis. The 17-year-old footballer has had a standout season, winning the Youth League, earning a spot on Olympiacos’ senior team, and making his debut for Greece’s National Team yesterday (November 17) against Finland in the Nations League.
The young Olympiacos midfielder substituted Dimitris Kourbelis in the 90th minute, marking his debut in the national squad. At just 17 years, 10 months, and 23 days old, Mouzakitis became the youngest player to feature in an official match for the Greek national team.
UEFA also acknowledged this feat with a post featuring two photos of Mouzakitis, stating:
“17-year-old Christos Mouzakitis:
- April: Wins the Youth League with Olympiacos.
- September: Debuts for the senior team.
- November: Makes his first appearance for Greece.”
