Over the coming weeks, these players will compete not just for the championship title but also for the opportunity to make their mark on the global stage and pave the way for future professional success.

Transfermarkt, using insights from its international network, highlights several young prospects who are expected to have bright careers in their home nations. These are the rising stars worth watching closely.

Italian Prospects Under the Spotlight

"Dortmund's Samuele Inácio was already one of the standout players at the last U17 European Championship and remains one of Italy’s most promising attacking talents. But there’s another youngster in the Azzurrini ranks deserving attention: Destiny Elimoghale. The Juventus winger, who has already impressed in the Primavera League and the Youth League, is the youngest member of the Italian squad, yet his potential makes him a major asset. He brings together speed, intensity, technique, and tactical awareness, and could be a decisive figure for Daniele Franceschini’s team as a super-sub."
