Robert Carmona, recognized by the Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest professional footballer, is ready to make history again. At 62 years old, he’s on the lookout for his 50th club after parting ways with Nuevo Casabo in Uruguay’s fourth division. With nearly five decades of experience under his belt, Carmona isn’t just playing for the game; he’s playing for legacy.
The Unstoppable Robert Carmona
At 62, Robert Carmona is not just kicking around; he’s making waves in the football world. Known as the oldest professional footballer, Carmona is eager to continue his journey after officially leaving Nuevo Casabo. In his words, “It will be very difficult for someone to repeat my feat as the world’s oldest player, almost impossible.” The determination that defined his early years still fuels his ambition today.
“I’m waiting to be recognized by FIFA.”
In an exclusive chat with Al-Eqtisadiya, Carmona underscored his unwavering dedication to the sport, saying, “Ever since I was a child, I knew I had what it takes to be great. Training is key, which is why I practice two to three hours a day, six days a week.” His commitment echoes the professionalism of legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, a comparison he doesn’t shy away from.
Living the Dream without a Contract
Even without a formal contract, Carmona remains in the game based on mutual agreements with clubs. “I can still play the full 90 minutes as I did in 95% of my career, but I respect the coach’s decisions,” he asserts. While his primary salary may not cover all his expenses, his various income streams connected to sports keep him comfortable. “I have everything I need,” he adds confidently.
“In my life I have already played in 49 clubs and over 2,000 matches.”
As for what’s next, Carmona is weighing his options for the future. “After leaving Nuevo Casabo, I’m analyzing the opportunities that lie ahead,” he explains. Even with injuries sidelining him in recent years, the fire to compete burns brightly within him. This isn’t just a career—this is a legacy that refuses to fade away.
