Serie A Rising Star of the Month
The Serie A Rising Star of the Month is an association football award that recognises the best under-23 player each month in Serie A, the top tier of the Italian football league system. The winner of the award is selected based on analysis by data tracking software, which evaluates statistical and positional data, as well as the player's contribution to the team's technical and physical efficiency.[1]
Introduced for the 2025–26 season, the inaugural award was presented to Como player Nico Paz for his performances in August 2025.[2]
The current holder of the award is Juventus's Kenan Yıldız, who won it for his performances in November 2025.[3]
