Pereira da Gama youngest footballer in the Netherlands
According to NOS, 15-year-old footballer Jadiel Pereira da Gama has made history in the Dutch national championship. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He became the youngest participant in the Eredivisie competition, coming on as a substitute in the match between "PEC Zwolle" and "Telstar." At that time, he was 15 years and 243 days old.
In a post-match interview, the young footballer emphasized that he was aware of the opportunity to set a record. Pereira da Gama's team won the game 2-0.
He stated that it is unknown how long the record will stand, as many young talents may break it. The previous youngest player record was set in 1949 and belonged to Wim Kras from the "Volendam" team.
He was only 57 days older than the "Zwolle" player. This event has opened a new chapter in Dutch football history and serves as an inspiration for young footballers.
