Obi-Martin, who was born in Glostrup, Denmark, to Nigerian parents, has made waves in the football world since his youth days. Starting at local club KB, he quickly caught the eye of scouts and joined the Arsenal youth academy in England.
His time at Arsenal was nothing short of remarkable, with Obi-Martin setting new records, including scoring an incredible 32 goals in 18 U18 Premier League matches and making headlines with a hat-trick on his U18 debut against Norwich City.
In September 2024, Obi-Martin’s exceptional skills earned him a move to Manchester United, where he continued to impress, netting a hat-trick in his U18 debut against Nottingham Forest.
He soon made his Premier League debut in February 2025, further cementing his status as one of the brightest young talents in world football.
On the international stage, Obi-Martin has represented Denmark at various youth levels, including U16, U17, and U18, standing out at the 2024 UEFA European Under-17 Championship, where he was included in the Team of the Tournament.
The Årets Komet award is a fitting tribute to Obi-Martin’s rapid ascent in football, and as he continues his journey at Manchester United, expectations are high for his future. Congratulations to Chido Obi-Martin on this prestigious achievement – the sky is the limit!
