Youngest player to score a hat-trick in the football (soccer) FIFA World Cup finals

The youngest player to score a hat-trick in the FIFA World Cup finals is Pelé (Brazil) aged 17 years 244 days when he scored 3 goals versus France, at the Råsunda Stadium, Solna, Sweden, on 24 June 1958. Pelé´s goals were timed at 52, 64 and 75 minutes making it one of the few hat-tricks achieved exclusively in the second half. No Brazilian has scored three goals in a World Cup since and no other player has ever scored three goals in a game versus France. It was the 23rd hat-trick in the history of the World Cup. The country with the most hat-trick scorers to date is Hungary with four players who have netted a treble.
