Andries Noppert

Andries Noppert (born 7 April 1994) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Eredivisie club Heerenveen.

Club career NAC Breda Trained through the youth ranks of Heerenveen, Noppert made his professional debut in 2014 for NAC Breda. After traveling by car from the Netherlands to Italy, his car was stolen by the Foggian Mafia. He made his debut for the club on 28 April, in a 3–1 loss to Cittadella. Three months later, the goalkeeper saved a penalty in a 2–0 win over Carpi. After leaving the club, he considered joining the police.

Go Ahead Eagles In January 2021, Noppert signed for Go Ahead Eagles until the end of the season.

Heerenveen Noppert returned to Heerenveen on 16 May 2022, signing a two-year deal. It was his first season as a first-choice goalkeeper. Noppert quickly impressed, which resulted in Louis van Gaal calling him up to the Netherlands squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup on 11 November 2022, where he was also selected to be the first-choice goalkeeper. Upon return, Noppert played three matches for Heerenveen before being injured during a warm-up on 25 January 2023. What first looked to be a minor injury kept him out of play for four months, and having undergone surgery, Noppert returned to the pitch in Heerenveen's last match of the regular season against Go Ahead Eagles. Noppert kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 win, sending Heerenveen into European play-offs.

International career Noppert was called up to the Netherlands national team in September 2022. In November 2022, he was included in the nation's 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He discovered his inclusion in the squad on TV.

Noppert made his international debut in his country's opening match at the tournament against Senegal, a 2–0 victory.
