Club career[]

Early career in Rome[]

Matteo Cancellieri arrived in the AS Roma academy at the age of nine from Polisportiva De Rossi in the Appio-Latino, soon becoming a prolific goalscorer with the Giallorossi's youth setup.[2][3]

Cancellieri first rose to fame on the 13 March 2018, during the Champions League game against Shakhtar Donetsk, where he was a ball boy at the Stadio Olimpico. He was pushed by the Shakhtar player Facundo Ferreyra, who made him fall beyond an advertising board. Roma eventually won the game, qualifying for the quarter-finals, where they would beat FC Barcelona in a famous remontada, under the management of coach Di Francesco.[2][4][5][6]

Loan at Verona[]

In 2020, he joined Hellas Verona on a two years loan, with an obligation of purchase, along with his teammates Mert Çetin and , as Marash Kumbulla made the move in the opposite direction to join Rome.[6][7][8]

He played his first season with the club in the Campionato Primavera 2, still impressing with his goal tally, as he scored 15 goals and delivered 7 assists in only 18 games.[9][10]

He made his professional debut for Verona under manager Eusebio Di Francesco on the 14 August 2021, starting the Coppa Italia game against Catanzaro, proving to be instrumental in his team 3–0 home win.[9][11] Cancellieri made his Serie A debut only one week later against Sassuolo, coming on as a substitute, before starting his first Serie A game six days later, against Inter Milan, the reining champions.[12]

International career[]

Already an international with Italy's under-17 in 2018,[3][10][13] Matteo Cancellieri was first called with the under-21 in August 2021.[14] He made his debut on the 3rd September during the European Championship qualifying, starting the home game against Luxembourg.[15]
