Quentin Paris

Quentin Paris was still an amateur, by some reckonings, when he became the youngest player to score for FC Annecy in the professional era. On 7 February 2025, at 18 years and three months old, he scored against Stade Lavallois in the Coupe de France — a first professional goal that made his name at the club before his status even caught up with his performances. He added another goal against Bastia later that month.

Paris came through the FC Annecy academy after starting out at F2C Alby-sur-Chéran, and broke into the senior squad in August 2024, going straight into Ligue 2 football. His rise was rapid enough that reports in early 2025 still classified him as an amateur.

His contract at Annecy ran to June 2026, and when it expired he moved on as a free agent to Stade Reims, initially joining their reserve team. Paris made his debut for Reims in August 2026 and scored against Annecy, the club that had given him his start. Three appearances into his Reims career, he had one goal to his name. He has yet to be capped by the French national team.
