Cavan Sullivan Sets Youngest MLS Debut Record

Philadelphia Union's 14-year-old midfielder, Cavan Sullivan, became the youngest player in Major League Soccer (MLS) history during a match against the New England Revolution, breaking Freddy Adu's 2004 record. Sullivan, who entered the game in the 85th minute, also became the youngest player to debut in any of North America's major professional sports leagues. His debut was marked by a few touches and a shot on goal, moments after his brother Quinn scored to secure a 5-1 victory for the Union. This historic debut is part of a broader trend in MLS focusing on developing young talent, with Sullivan already signed to a deal that includes a future transfer to Manchester City. The Union's win ended a 10-match winless streak, highlighted by Tai Baribo's first career hat trick.
