As the 2026 World Cup draws closer, FIFA continues profiling young talents poised to shine at football’s greatest event.
Warren Zaire-Emery, born March 8, 2006, represents France and plays for Paris Saint-Germain. He made his international debut on November 18, 2023 against Gibraltar at just 17 years old, becoming France’s youngest debutant in 106 years. A midfielder by position, his standout qualities include composure, passing range, tactical intelligence, and maturity beyond his years.
Zaire-Emery broke into the PSG first team at 16 and has since become a regular starter, showcasing a level of consistency remarkable for someone so young. His rapid development has drawn comparisons to some of France’s greatest midfielders, and he is widely expected to play a significant role for Les Bleus at the 2026 World Cup.
