Sherida Spitse RON (Dutch pronunciation: [ʃeːˈridaː ˈspɪtsə]; born 29 May 1990) is a Dutch football midfielder currently playing for Ajax and the Netherlands women's national football team.[2]

Club career[]

Spitse started her career at VV Sneek before joining SC Heerenveen when the Dutch women's professional league (Eredivisie Vrouwen) was established in 2007.[3] After five seasons at Heerenveen where she played 100 official matches and scored 13 goals,[4] in 2012 the Dutch and Belgian leagues merged (BeNe League) and she moved to FC Twente in May 2012.[5] At Twente she won the BeNe League titles in 2012–13 and 2013–14. She was also the club top scorer in 2012–13.[3]

In December 2013, it was announced that Spitse would transfer to Norwegian Toppserien club LSK Kvinner FK from January 2014.[6] For this transfer, money was paid for the first time in Dutch women's football.[7][8][9][10] Spitse became a Norwegian League and Cup champion at the end of the 2014 season with LSK Kvinner. She was also voted on to Norway's Team of the Year at the annual NISO awards ceremony in Oslo.[11] She remained in the club for the next two seasons (2015 and 2016) winning the League and Cup in both seasons.[12]

On 19 December 2016, during the 2015–16 Eredivisie winter break, she moved back to the Netherlands after agreeing a contract with FC Twente to play the second half of the season.[13] On 16 June 2017, she extended her contract with FC Twente for one season. [14]

During the 2017–18 Eredivisie winter break, on 27 December 2017, she signed a two-year contract with Vålerenga Fotball, returning to the Norwegian Toppserien.[15]

On 20 November 2020, it was announced that Spitse had rejoined the Eredivisie this time to join Ajax.[16]

International career[]

Spitse made her debut for the Netherlands women's national football team under coach Vera Pauw on 31 August 2006, in a 4–0 World Cup qualifying defeat to England.[3][17] At the time, she was 16 years old and still playing in VV Sneek boys team.[18][19]

At the UEFA Women's Euro 2009, she was a member of the Dutch squad which reach the semifinals of the tournament.[20]

In June 2013, national team coach Roger Reijners selected Spitse in the Netherlands squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden.[21]

On 7 February 2015 she earned her 100th cap for the Dutch team against Thailand.[22] Spitse helped the Netherlands qualify for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and was selected for the final squad.[23] She played all four of the Netherlands matches in the tournament.[2]

In January 2017, she played her 125th match for the national team against Romania.[24] Spitse was part of the Dutch winning team of the UEFA Women's Euro 2017,[25] she played in all matches and was named in the 2017 UEFA Team of the Tournament. In the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, she reached the final with the Netherlands, which they lost 2–0 against the United States.[26]

In July 2021, Spitse suffered a knee injury, hence she missed the 2020 Summer Olympics.[27]
