Vincent Thill (born 4 February 2000) is a Luxembourgish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for German 3. Liga club Waldhof Mannheim. He represents the Luxembourg national team. He is the younger brother of fellow Luxembourg internationals Sébastien Thill and Olivier Thill.[1]

He was included in The Guardian's "Next Generation 2017".[2]

Club career

[edit]

Thill started his career with Luxembourgish side Fola Esch before transferring to Progrès Niederkorn, where he spent six months.

He joined Metz in 2012, and signed his first professional contract on 26 May 2016, despite interest from Bayern Munich.[3] On 21 September 2016, Thill made his debut for Metz in a 0–3 defeat against Bordeaux, coming on in the 82nd minute. In doing so, Thill became the first player born in the 2000s to appear in Ligue 1 and in any of Europe's top five leagues.[4]

In August 2018, Thill joined Pau on loan for the 2018–19 season.[5] In the following season, he was loaned out to US Orléans.[6]

On 1 April 2022, Thill joined Örebro in Sweden on a three-months loan.[7]

On 5 August 2022, Thill joined Allsvenskan club AIK on a one-year loan.[8]

On 8 July 2023, Azerbaijan Premier League club Sabah announced the signing of Thill on a two-year contract.[9]

After signing with fellow Azerbaijani side Zira FK in the 2025 summer transfer window, Thill was released by mutual consent on 22 October 2025 after failing to make an appearance with the club.[10]

On 15 January 2026, Thill signed with Waldhof Mannheim in German 3. Liga.[11]

International career

[edit]

Thill became the youngest player to represent the Luxembourg national team when he made his debut on 25 March 2016, in a 3–0 defeat against Bosnia and Herzegovina.[12] Upon scoring a 90th-minute goal against Nigeria in a 3–1 defeat on 31 May 2016, he became his nation's youngest ever goalscorer and the first player born in the new millennium to score an international goal.

Personal life

[edit]

Vincent is the brother of Sébastien Thill, who plays for Differdange, and of Olivier Thill, who plays for Käerjéng 97. He is also the son of former international footballer Serge Thill.[13]
