Arsenal’s teen sensation Max Dowman now has three Guinness World Records certificates to his name. Guinness World Records announced the feat in a post on its verified X handle on Thursday. The 16-year-old earned the honours for his record-breaking rise in English and European football.
The post reads, “Three Guinness World Records titles before 17.
“@Arsenal’s Max Dowman has been presented with three official Guinness World Records certificates following his record-breaking rise through English and European football.”
Dowman is the youngest player to appear in the UEFA Champions League, at 15 years and 308 days. Arsenal clinched the title, their first in 22 years, when rivals Manchester City could only draw 1–1 with Bournemouth.
He also holds the record for the youngest goalscorer in the English Premier League, at 16 years and 73 days, and the youngest player to win the Premier League, at 16 years and 144 days.
He featured in the Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027, released on Thursday, as part of the publication’s “Class of ’27”. He picked up his winner’s medal aged 16 years 144 days, beating the previous record held by Manchester City’s Phil Foden by more than a year.
The 16-year-old winger made his first-team debut at the start of last season, coming on against Leeds United to become the second-youngest player in English Premier League history, behind Arsenal teammate Ethan Nwaneri.
The recognition adds to the teenager’s growing list of milestones following his rapid rise at Arsenal and in European football.
