Four Chelsea players have been recognised in the Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027 following their remarkable achievements in men\u2019s and women\u2019s football.\n<\/p>\n

The players, Cole Palmer, Estev\u00e3o Willian, Hannah Hampton and Manaka Matsukubo, received their certificates and copies of the publication during a presentation at Chelsea\u2019s Cobham Training Centre, according to a post obtained from Guinness World Records\u2019 website on Thursday.<\/p>\n

According to Guinness World Records, adjudicator Will Munford visited the training centre ahead of the launch of the 2027 Football Edition to celebrate the players\u2019 inclusion in its Class of \u201927, which recognises some of the most exciting young talents in world football.\n<\/p>\n

Palmer was recognised for recording the fastest English Premier League perfect hat-trick from kickoff.<\/p>\n

The England international achieved the feat on April 15, 2024, scoring with his left foot, head and right foot within the opening 29 minutes of Chelsea\u2019s 6-0 victory over Everton.<\/p>\n

The achievement came during his impressive debut season at Stamford Bridge, when he scored 22 goals and provided 10 assists.\n<\/p>\n

He also won the Premier League Young Player of the Season award before claiming the Golden Ball as the best player at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, which Chelsea won.<\/p>\n

Brazilian winger Estev\u00e3o was also honoured for becoming the youngest winner of Brazil\u2019s Bola de Ouro award.<\/p>\n

The award has previously been won by Brazilian football legends, including Ronaldinho and Neymar.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Chelsea Women and England goalkeeper Hampton received recognition for becoming the youngest goalkeeper to make 100 Women\u2019s Super League appearances. <\/p>\n

Hampton achieved the milestone at the age of 23 years and 353 days during Chelsea\u2019s match against Everton on November 3, 2024.\n<\/p>\n

She played an important role in Chelsea\u2019s unbeaten 2024\/25 WSL campaign, which ended with the club securing another league title.<\/p>\n

The goalkeeper also attracted attention at the 2025 UEFA Women\u2019s European Championship, saving penalties in consecutive shootouts as England successfully defended their title.\n<\/p>\n

She subsequently became the first recipient of the women\u2019s Yashin Trophy for the best goalkeeper at the 2025 Ballon d\u2019Or awards.\n<\/p>\n

Japanese midfielder Matsukubo completed Chelsea\u2019s quartet after earning recognition for becoming the youngest player to score a hat-trick in the National Women\u2019s Soccer League (NWSL).\n<\/p>\n

She achieved the record at 21 years and 81 days when she scored three goals for North Carolina Courage against Bay FC.\n<\/p>\n

Matsukubo earned her place in the Guinness World Records Class of \u201927 before joining Chelsea from the American club.\n<\/p>\n

The four players\u2019 achievements feature in the Guinness World Records Football Edition 2027, which includes records and features from across the global game.\n<\/p>\n

The publication also features other emerging football talents, including Barcelona\u2019s Lamine Yamal and United States international Trinity Rodman.<\/p>\n

Guinness World Records said the new edition contains a review of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and hundreds of new records from the sport.\n<\/p>\n
