Anna Vera Knol is a Dutch defender who plays for FC Twente in the Vrouwen Eredivisie. She has represented the Netherlands at youth levels (U15, U16, and U17).
She started out playing handball before switching to football.
She first started playing football in youth teams with boys.
She moved abroad to Italy at 18, joining Empoli and learning what life away from home feels like as a young pro.
She once found a small stone while cleaning her room that had her dream written on it: βbecome a professional footballer.β
At Fortuna Sittard, she did not miss a single minute across her two seasons there in both league play and the KNVB Cup.
