Niccolò Pisilli Rising Star Of The Month for Maggio

The Rising Star Of The Month award for May has been assigned to Roma player Niccolò Pisilli. The trophy will be presented during the pre-match of Hellas Verona-Roma, scheduled for Sunday 24 May 2026 at 8.45 p.m. at the “Marcantonio Bentegodi” stadium in Verona.

The winner of the trophy, reserved for Under-23 players (born starting from 1 January 2003), has been selected taking into account the advanced analysis of Kama Sport, created from the tracking data recorded with the Hawk-Eye system. The rating system considers not only statistical data and technical events, but also positional data. This makes it possible to analyse crucial aspects such as movement without the ball and thus optimal movements, game choices, and the contribution to the technical and physical efficiency of the team, which allow for an objective and qualitative evaluation of the performance.

For the final calculation were considered the matchdays from 35 to 36 of Serie A 2025/2026.

“Roma’s youth sector has produced yet another great talent - said Luigi De Siervo, CEO of Lega Calcio Serie A -. Niccolò Pisilli has taken another step forward this season, carving out more and more space  in Gasperini’s tactical set-up. The young Roman footballer embodies all the characteristics of the modern midfielder: adept at joining the attack and capable of being decisive in the final third, whilst never failing to contribute his determination and dynamism. At 21, Pisilli is a true rising star of Serie A, a player ready to establish himself in the tradition of the great Italian midfielders who have worn the Giallorossi colours”.
