The fastest penalty in football history isn't definitively settled, but recent records point to Napoli goalkeeper Vanja Milinković-Savić, who hit one at an astonishing 130 km/h (81 mph) in a shootout, far exceeding the previous widely cited record by Chloe Kelly (111 km/h) and putting many powerful men's shots to shame. While Ronny Heberson holds records for free kicks (211 km/h), Milinković-Savić's penalty is a standout for its sheer velocity in a match scenario, breaking records once thought limits.
Highest recorded shot speed is 128.76 km/h by Erik Zanza. Highest recorded penalty shot speed is 125.6 km/h by Trent Alexander-Arnold. Both of these are from Euro 2024 . And these are peak speeds btw, not "average".
