Thiago Silva’s Son Iago Silva Earns First England U15 Call-Up as Chelsea Academy Star Rises
A new chapter is beginning for one of Chelsea’s most promising young footballers — and he carries a legendary surname.
Thiago Silva’s son, Iago Silva, has earned his first call-up to the England U15 training camp, marking a proud milestone in his young career. The teenager, who plays for Chelsea’s academy U15 side, continues to impress coaches and fans alike with his composure, talent, and maturity on the ball.
Iago joined Chelsea’s academy while his father, Thiago, was still starring for the Blues. Since then, he has developed into one of the standout players in his age group, helping the team secure several youth-level tournament victories.
The Silvas are a true footballing family. Iago’s older brother, Isago Silva, currently plays for Chelsea’s U18 side, where he too has been progressing rapidly. The possibility of both brothers one day representing Chelsea’s senior team is an exciting prospect for supporters.
On Instagram, Iago shared a photo from St. George’s Park, the home of England’s national teams, with the caption:
“Proud moment to be invited to my first England camp. The hard work continues.”
The young midfielder is eligible to play for both Brazil and England, thanks to his Brazilian roots and residency in the UK. His England camp invitation is a sign of how highly he’s rated, though his future international allegiance remains open.
Thiago Silva, meanwhile, continues to inspire as a player and mentor. Many believe he could move into coaching after retirement — and perhaps one day, he’ll guide his sons from the sidelines.
For Chelsea fans, the idea of seeing both Iago and Isago Silva wearing the famous blue shirt at Stamford Bridge is an exciting dream — one that feels a little closer to reality today.
