Remko Pasveer

PSV In the summer of 2014, Pasveer signed a three-year contract with PSV, where he had to compete with first goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet. He made his official debut for the Eindhoven-based club on 21 August 2014, during the first of two legs against Belarusian club Shakhtyor Soligorsk in the final qualifying round for the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League. Pasveer played the entire match, which his club won 1–0 at home. He played several more times that season in both KNVB Cup and Europa League matches. A week after PSV secured the Eredivisie title, PSV triggered an option in his contract in May 2015 and thus committed him to the club until mid-2018. Pasveer won the national title with PSV for the second time in a row on 8 May 2016. He did not make a league appearance that season, but only played in the cup tournament. Pasveer made his UEFA Champions League debut on 1 November 2016. Due to an injury from Zoet, he a made a start in the 1–2 lost group match at home against Bayern Munich. Pasveer made three league appearances during the 2016–17 season. Zoet, who was the starter that season, only conceded 23 goals in 31 appearances. With that, PSV had the statistically best defense in the Eredivisie that year, alongside the Ajax defense. The Eindhoven team finished third that season.

Vitesse Pasveer signed with Vitesse in July 2017. He made his debut on 5 August 2017 during the lost game for the Johan Cruyff Shield against Feyenoord. His first year under head coach Leonid Slutsky was difficult, but eventually he grew into a starter and team captain. In the 2019–20 season, he was voted "Player of the Year" by Vitesse fans.

Ajax On 23 April 2021, it was announced that Pasveer had signed a two-year contract with Ajax, joining the club on a free transfer from 1 July. He made his debut for the club on 7 August in a 4–0 loss to PSV in the Johan Cruyff Shield. Due to suspensions and injuries for goalkeepers André Onana and Maarten Stekelenburg, Pasveer stayed on as the starter in goal. On 19 October 2021 Pasveer earned a record as the first goalkeeper to stop three direct shots on goal from Norwegian striker Erling Haaland in a UEFA Champions League match. Pasveer went on to keep a clean sheet against Borussia Dortmund as the match ended a 4–0 win for Ajax. Four days later, Pasveer kept a clean-sheet once more, in a regular season match, as Ajax defeated his former club, and rivals PSV Eindhoven 5–0 at home. He conceded only two goals in the domestic league prior to matchday 12, played on 7 November 2021. This proved to be a record, as no goalkeeper in the Eredivisie had conceded so few goals during the first twelve games before. This yielded an impressive average of one goal against every four matches, both at national and international level.

During the 2024–25 Europa League qualifying phase, he managed to save five shots and score one during the penalty shootouts against Panathinaikos which ended in a 13–12 victory following a 1–1 draw on aggregate.

Return to Heracles Almelo After losing the first-choice goalkeeping spot to Vítězslav Jaroš in the first half of the 2025–26 season with Ajax, on 29 January 2026, Pasveer returned to Heracles Almelo on a short-term deal until the end of the season to help with the club's relegation battle.

Return to Twente On 2 July 2026, Pasveer returned to Twente on a free transfer, while also being appointed to work as a goalkeeping coach.

International career Pasveer was part of the Netherlands squad that won the 2006 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Portugal.

On 22 September 2022, Pasveer made his debut for the Netherlands as a starter against Poland in a 2022–23 UEFA Nations League match. At age 38, he was the second oldest player to ever debut for the Dutch national team, after Sander Boschker in 2010 (aged 39).
