Federico Accornero (born 5 February 2004) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Serie B club Carrarese.
Born and raised in Genoa,[1][2][3] Accornero started playing football at grassroots clubs Polis Genova and Foce,[1] before joining Genoa's youth academy in 2011.[2] He came through the club's youth ranks, reaching the final of the under-17 national championship in 2021,[1][4] while starting playing for the under-19 squad in the same year.[1]
On 6 March 2023, Accornero made his professional debut for Genoa, coming on as a substitute for Albert Guðmundsson in the 82nd minute of a 4–0 Serie B win against Cosenza.[3][5] At the end of the campaign, he was involved in a double promotion, as Genoa's first team returned to Serie A after just one year,[6] while the Primavera squad gained automatic promotion back to the Campionato Primavera 1.[6][7]
On 27 July 2023, Accornero joined Serie C club Pescara on a season-long loan.[8][9] On 6 August, he scored his first professional goal in a 6–2 Coppa Italia defeat to Reggiana.[10][11]
On 1 September 2024, Accornero made his Serie A debut for Genoa, as a late substitute in a 0–2 loss to Hellas Verona.[12]
On 17 January 2025, Accornero was loaned by Trento in Serie C.[13]
On 16 July 2025, Accornero signed a three-season contract with Carrarese in Serie B.[14]
International career
Accornero has represented Italy at various youth international levels, having played for the under-15,[15] under-16,[16] under-18[17] and under-19 national teams.[18][19]
He was included in the squad that took part in the 2022 Mediterranean Games in Oran, Algeria,[20] where Italy eventually won the silver medal after losing to France in the final match.[21]
Style of play
Accornero started playing football as a central midfielder, before being moved to an attacking role.[1][22] Despite operating mainly as a number 10, he can also play as an advanced forward or a left winger.[1][2][19]
An ambidextrous forward, he has been regarded for his agility, his dribbling skills and his work rate.[1][19] Moreover, he has shown to be equally effective as an assist-man and a goal-scorer.[2][19]
Although he was compared to Alexis Sánchez due to his characteristics,[1] he cited Albert Guðmundsson and Mattia Aramu, two of his team-mates at Genoa, as his biggest sources of inspiration.[2]
