Federico Coletta (born 29 May 2007) is an Italian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Benfica.
Coletta was born on 29 May 2007 in Rome, Italy. Born to Alessandro Coletta and Fabiana Coletta, he is the younger brother of Flavio Coletta. [1]
As a youth player, Coletta joined the youth academy of Vigor Perconti. In 2016, he joined the youth academy of Serie A side Roma and was promoted to the club's under-20 team in 2024. [2]
Coletta is an Italy youth international and has played for the Italy national under-15 football team, the Italy national under-17 football team, the Italy national under-18 football team, and the Italy national under-19 football team. During the summer of 2024, he helped the Italy national under-17 football team win the 2024 UEFA European Under-17 Championship. [3]
Coletta plays as a midfielder and is right-footed. English newspaper The Guardian wrote in 2024 that "his game... resembles that of Inter’s Davide Frattesi, an agile line-breaker whose instincts and timing make him a menace attacking the penalty box". [4]
