Maurice Gastiger (3 October 1896 — 22 January 1966) was a French footballer who played as a forward for FÉC Levallois, Rennes and France.[1]
Gastiger began his career with FÉC Levallois in 1913, playing with the club for seven seasons. In the 1920–21 season, Gastiger signed for Rennes. During his time at the club, Gastiger helped Rennes reach the 1922 Coupe de France Final.[2][3]
On 8 February 1914, Gastiger made his debut for France at the 17 years, 4 months and 5 days against Luxembourg, becoming France's youngest player in the process, a record that stood until 27 August 2020, when Eduardo Camavinga made his debut against Switzerland. On 8 March 1914, Gastiger scored his only goal for France, in a 2–2 draw against Switzerland.[4][5]
