Club career
editYouth career
editAt the age of 11, Daphne van Domselaar started playing football at LSVV in Zuid-Scharwoude.[4] In the team that she joined, the girls played without a regular keeper. However, after Van Domselaar took her turn as goalkeeper, she did not leave that position but stayed in it.[5] The LSVV goalkeeping coach immediately recognised her great talent. Moreover, he noted that she had learned a lot at the volleyball club which she had come from.[6] Van Domselaar then played for four years with the boys of LSVV and for two years with Telstar's youth academy.[7]
In her second year at Telstar, she was the one-off reserve keeper of the senior team in their away match against PSV on 4 February 2017.[8] Telstar continued as VV Alkmaar in the following season.[citation needed] Soccerway erroneously[citation needed] reports that Van Domselaar played with VV Alkmaar in the 2016–17 season.[3]
Senior career
editVan Domselaar started her professional career with FC Twente in the 2017–18 season.[3] In the first two seasons she was reserve goalkeeper behind Nicky Evrard.[citation needed] She made her debut in the Eredivisie on 22 December 2017 in the match against Heerenveen, when after 20 minutes Evrard was shown a red card.[9] From the 2019–20 season, Van Domselaar was FC Twente's first-choice goalkeeper.[3]
Her first trainer at FC Twente, Tommy Stroot, called her a “pure natural talent”.[10] After the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 championship, various foreign clubs were interested in Van Domselaar, but she decided to stay with FC Twente for the 2022–23 season.[11] She did say that she hoped for a transfer to “a very nice club outside the Netherlands” in 2023.[12] At the end of 2022, she was the only Eredivisie player included in The Guardian's annual list of the 100 best female football players in the world.[13]
On 16 June 2023, Women's Super League club Aston Villa announced the signing of Van Domselaar on a three-year deal until 2026.[14][15]
On 31 July 2024, it was announced that Arsenal had signed Van Domselaar after triggering a substantial buyout clause in her Villa contract.[16][17]
International career
editVan Domselaar's first cap[definition needed] was for a friendly against Belgium U15 on 18 March 2015.[18] The UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship in May 2017 was her first major tournament. With the Dutch team she reached the semifinals.[19] Her performance in the Netherlands U17 team drew the attention of Tommy Stroot, who brought her to FC Twente in the summer of 2017.[10]
Van Domselaar made her senior team debut during the Tournoi de France on 19 February 2022 in a 3–0 win against Finland.[20] In July 2022, she was named in the Dutch squad for the European Championship held in England.[21] In the first group match against Sweden, the starting goalkeeper Sari van Veenendaal was injured, and Van Domselaar came on as a substitute in the 20th minute. She played in goal for the rest of the tournament.[22][23] Up to and including the quarterfinals, in which the Netherlands team were eliminated by France, she was the star player of the Dutch national team.[24][13] On 31 May 2023, Van Domselaar was named as part of the Netherlands provisional squad for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.[25]
