How old was Brian Madjo when he became the youngest player to start a UEFA Super Cup match in 2026?
Answer
17 years and 212 days
Brian Madjo was 17 years and 212 days old when he became the youngest player to start a UEFA Super Cup match in 2026.
Madjo started for Aston Villa against Paris Saint-Germain at the Red Bull Arena in Salzburg. His appearance was notable before he scored because UEFA recorded him as the youngest player ever to begin a Super Cup fixture.
He then added another record by scoring Villa’s equaliser just before half-time. That made Madjo the youngest UEFA Super Cup scorer as well, but the two achievements should not be confused: one concerns starting a match, while the other concerns scoring in the competition.
A player’s age record depends on the exact match date and date of birth, which is why the record is expressed precisely in years and days. The 212-day figure describes Madjo’s age on the night of the 2026 final.
