Four Chelsea players have been recognised in the Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027.

The players are Cole Palmer, Estevao Willian, Hannah Hampton and Manaka Matsukubo. They received their certificates at Chelsea’s Cobham Training Centre.

Guinness World Records adjudicator Will Munford visited the centre to present the awards. The players were named in the Class of 27, which celebrates exciting young talents in world football. They also received copies of the new edition.

Palmer was honoured for the fastest perfect hat trick from kickoff in the Premier League. He scored with his left foot, head and right foot in 29 minutes against Everton on April 15, 2024. Chelsea won the match 6 to 0.

Estevao was honoured as the youngest winner of Brazil’s Bola de Ouro award. He won it aged 17 years and 229 days after a breakout season with Palmeiras. The award goes to the best player in Brazil’s top flight.

Hampton was honoured as the youngest goalkeeper to make 100 Women’s Super League appearances. She plays for Chelsea Women and England. Her record reflects consistency at a young age.

Matsukubo was honoured as the youngest player to score a hat trick in the National Women’s Soccer League. She joined Chelsea from the United States league. Her record completes Chelsea’s quartet.

The new edition also features other stars like Lamine Yamal and Trinity Rodman. It includes a review of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and hundreds of new records. The Chelsea quartet’s inclusion highlights the club’s strength in men’s and women’s football.
