António Silva and Francisca Nazareth, Benfica footballers, are in the final lists of nominees for the Golden Boy and Golden Girl of 2022 awards, given by "Tuttosport". The center-back is the new addition to the list that has been reduced since June, when the Italian newspaper revealed the first batch of 100 athletes, while the forward prevails over the 15 names initially disclosed. 

António Silva competes with Karim Adeyemi (Borussia Dortmund), Jude Bellingham (Borussia Dortmund), Eduardo Camavinga (Real Madrid), Fábio Carvalho (Liverpool), Ansu Fati (Barcelona), Gavi (Barcelona), Wilfried Gnonto (Leeds United), Gravenberch (Bayern Munich), Gvardiol (RB Leipzig), Miretti (Juventus), Musiala (Bayern Munich), Nico González (Valencia), Nuno Mendes (Paris Saint-Germain), Pedri (Barcelona), Scalvini (Atalanta), Sesko (Salzburg), Mathys Tel (Bayern Munich), Udogie (Udinese) and Zalewski (Roma).

It should be noted that Benfica has already nurtured two Golden Boy award winners: João Félix (2019) and Renato Sanches (2016). The last winner, in 2021, was Pedri (Barcelona), who joined a list with names like Haaland (2020), Mbappé (2017), Sterling (2014), Messi (2005) or Rooney (2004).
