Francesco Camarda Makes Serie A History as Youngest Player Ever

Nov 26 2023

In a remarkable feat, 15-year-old Francesco Camarda etched his name into Serie A history books on Saturday, becoming the youngest player to grace the prestigious Italian league.

At just 15 years and 260 days, the AC Milan striker made his debut in a match against Fiorentina, entering the pitch as a substitute and contributing to his team’s victory.

Camarda’s record-breaking debut surpasses the previous youngest Serie A debutant, Wisdom Amey of Bologna, who achieved the milestone at 15 years and 274 days in 2021. The young striker’s achievement is not confined to Italy alone; he now joins a select group of players globally who have made their mark in top-flight football before turning 16.

The call-up to AC Milan’s first team came as a result of circumstances, with Olivier Giroud serving a suspension and Noah Okafor sidelined due to injury. Despite his youth, Camarda has demonstrated his talent, having only made his Uefa Youth League debut in September, where he impressed with two goals against Newcastle United.

This extraordinary accomplishment adds Camarda’s name to the shortlist of eight players who have debuted in the Italian top flight before their 16th birthday. The talented young striker’s journey is one to watch, as he embarks on what promises to be a remarkable career in the world of professional football.

Malta Widely Considered as Viable Luxury Second Home Location by Brits

Nov 25 2023

According to luxury real estate consultancy firm JamesEdition, Malta has been ranked the seventh most affordable place for a luxury second home for Brits.

Malta placed above the United Arab Emirates, Canada and Montenegro, with Ireland occupying the top spot. The publication priced a luxury waterfront three-bedroom property at €635,000 while the same property was costed at €520,000, a study by Proven Partners has revealed.

The countries included in the survey were ranked as such based on Google searches related to second and holiday homes, with Malta being considered attractive due to short flight times and low air fares from the UK.

Criteria included the average price of a tasting menu at a top-rated fine dining restaurant and the average price for premium car hire per day.

Despite the positive placement for Malta, one cannot ignore the dissonance against the recent news that young adults on average wage cannot afford to secure a down payment on a property.
