NICO PAZ “RISING STAR OF THE MONTH” FOR SEPTEMBER

The Rising Star Of The Month award for September has been assigned to Como player Nico Paz. The trophy will be presented during the pre-match of Como vs Juventus, scheduled for Sunday 19 October 2025 at 12.30 p.m. at the “Giuseppe Sinigaglia” stadium in Como. 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 3 to 5 of Serie A 2025/2026. “Nico Paz doubles up and confirms himself as the best Under-23 player of the month in September too - said Lega Calcio Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo -. Beating competition from many young champions such as Yildiz and Soulè, Nico Paz took the top position with two goals and two assists in three matches. Decisive in every Como goal in the month just ended, Nico Paz is now beyond the status of “promising player.” He is a young talent that the whole world envies us, an example of class and consistency, a true gem of Como and Serie A”.
