Titi d'Or

Titi d'Or

The "Titi d'Or" (sometimes referred to as the "Golden Titi") is an annual award presented by the Italian sports website TuttoMercatoWeb to the best player under the age of 21 playing in a top European league. The award is designed to recognize and celebrate young footballing talent. The term "Titi" is a common French slang term for a young person, often used in the context of football academies, referencing players who are rising through the ranks. "d'Or" is French for "of gold," signifying excellence.

The award is based on the performances of the nominees throughout the calendar year. Selection is made by a panel of journalists and experts associated with TuttoMercatoWeb. The Titi d'Or is not necessarily limited to players of a specific nationality, rather it is open to any player under the age of 21 who has demonstrated exceptional skill, impact, and potential in a major European league. Winning this award is often seen as a prestigious accomplishment for a young player and can significantly raise their profile within the footballing world.
