I don´t know,\n\nI have a hunch it was Ronaldo in 1994 in the United States, even though he didn´t play one single match.  He was 17 at the time.  But Pelé could also be the record holder, because in 1958, in Brazil´s first championhip run, he was a starter and won the world cup in Sweden against the hosts, when he wa also 17.
