Last month, Konstantinos Karetsas made international headlines when he became the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Greek national team.

The Greece squad from that victory – a crucial one, enabling Greece’s promotion to Group A in the Nations League – also featured Konstantinos Koulierakis (21), Georgios Vagiannidis (23), Giannis Konstantelias (22), Christos Mouzakitis (18), Christos Zafeiris (22), Christos Tzolis (23), and Konstantinos Tzolakis (22).

However, one area where this connection remains underutilized is in sports, particularly football. That might be changing for the better, thanks to the recent emergence of two young Greek footballers: Noah Allen and Konstantinos Karetsas.
