Casey Phair, from South Korea, at just 16, became the youngest athlete to play in a Women’s World Cup.
She came on during the match between Colombia and South Korea for the first round of Group H, in a 2-0 Korean defeat.
With 16 years and 26 days, the athlete broke the record that belonged to Nigerian Ifeanyi Chiejine, who at the 1999 World Championships was 16 years and 34 days old.
Casey Phair was born in the United States, but she is the daughter of a Korean mother and an American father, which is why she chose to defend Asian colors.
She also became the first multi-racial player to play for the South Korean national team in history, for both men’s and women’s.
