As one of the most popular football events in the world, the European Cup has attracted the attention of countless fans. As a game of unlimited age, some relatively older players have also been born in the history of the European Cup.
In European Cup history, the oldest player is Towe Quintaro, who represented Luxembourg in the 1964 European Cup. At that time, Quintaro was already 37 years old. With his outstanding performance, he became the oldest player in the history of the European Cup.
He was closely followed by England's Stanley Matthews, who played for England at the 1980 European Cup. Matthews was 39 years old at the time, and as an older player, he still showed excellent competitive form.
In addition, Olmi Yaya of Slovakia is also an older player in the history of the European Cup. In the 1976 European Cup, he was 38 years old when he represented Czech Republic and Slovakia. Despite his age, Yaya still contributed many wonderful performances to the team.
Another older player is Iceland's Halgrim Arniuson. At the 2016 European Cup, Arniusson was 38 years old and became the first player in Icelandic history to participate in the European Cup.
The above is the ranking of the oldest players in the history of the European Cup. Although they are older, with their strength and perseverance, they have proved that age is not a factor that affects their performance in the competition.
