On October 15th, Pacific Time, the 25-man list for the 2025 Golden Boy Award has been announced, with rising stars like Kubasi, Güler, Jude Bellingham, and Yildiz all nominated. Barcelona starlet Yamal has already won the award, so due to the rules, he is no longer eligible.
The Golden Boy Award was established by TUTTOSPORT in 2003 to recognize outstanding young players of the year. Candidates must be 21 years old or younger. A jury of 50 journalists from across Europe will announce the winner in November.
