The Serie A Rising Star of the Month is an association football award that recognises the best under-23 player each month in Serie A, the top tier of the Italian football league system. The winner of the award is selected based on analysis by data tracking software, which evaluates statistical and positional data, as well as the player's contribution to the team's technical and physical efficiency. ^[1]
