Top (ten) 10 Youngest Captains In Football History ever
In football, being captain means respect and duty, and the person who holds that position is the heartbeat of the team both on and off the field. Captains are usually experienced professionals who are picked because they are good leaders. It is very rare for a young player to take on such an important role.
But Kylian Mbappé made news when he was named captain of the French national team after Hugo Lloris retired. He was still very young. Even though it was closely looked at, Mbappé’s hiring is part of a trend in football where young players are given big leadership roles.
