I’ve been a football reporter for UEFA.com since 2005. Every season I cover the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League, mainly for Dutch or Belgian teams but also occasionally in Germany, France, Sweden, Portugal or Romania. I also report on the Dutch men’s as well as women’s national teams in qualifying matches and at major tournaments.

I’ve been to well over 300 games, writing match reports, providing content for social media feeds and interviewing some of the biggest names in the game. Including the best player ever. Twice.

The photo was taken in Munich after the Netherlands v Romania match at EURO 2024. One of the many highlights in what for me is a dream job.
