Wael Mohya's Record-Breaking 2025 Year at Borussia Mönchengladbach

Wael Mohya is concluding an extraordinary breakthrough year with Borussia Mönchengladbach just days before his 17th birthday on December 31. The young midfielder was pivotal in leading Gladbach's U17 team to win the German U17 Championship on June 15, scoring the opening goal in a 3-1 final triumph over RB Leipzig in front of 10,800 fans. He also made decisive contributions in the semifinal against Bayern Munich with two goals.

Despite interest from Bundesliga rivals such as Eintracht Frankfurt, Mohya extended his contract with Gladbach on July 6, committing his future to the club. His meteoric rise continued with a professional debut on October 28 in the DFB-Pokal against Karlsruher SC. At just 16 years and 9 months old, he became the youngest player in Borussia Mönchengladbach history to feature in a competitive match, breaking a 37-year record previously held by Karlheinz Pflipsen.

Further cementing his status as a prodigy, Mohya made his Bundesliga debut on December 13 against Wolfsburg, becoming the youngest Bundesliga player for Gladbach at 16 years and 347 days old, surpassing Marko Marin’s record.

Mohya’s 2025 calendar year reflects a rare blend of youth success, professional opportunity, and club loyalty, highlighting his potential as one of the Bundesliga’s exciting prospects heading into 2026.
