Ștefan Colța signs first professional contract with Olympiacos

Moldovan defender Ștefan Colța has signed his first professional football contract with the Greek club Olympiacos Piraeus. The 16-year-old right-back, born in Cărpineni, Moldova, is expected to remain with the club until at least 2029.

Colța moved to Greece at the age of six and began his football training at the Panelinios Academy before joining the Olympiacos structure three years later. He currently plays for the club's under-17 junior team.

In addition to his club progress, Colța has represented the Moldova national under-17 team, starting in all three matches during the first round of the 2027 European Championship qualifiers. Nicolae Bunea, the national junior team coach, noted the player's proficiency with his right foot while suggesting areas for development, such as aerial duels and attacking involvement.
