Dana Foederer is a Dutch footballer who plays as a midfielder for the Utah Royals of the National Women's Soccer League.

Did You Know?

She joined PSV at just 16 years old, making her Eredivisie debut a few months later.

Her UEFA Women’s Champions League debut was against FC Barcelona.

She has played for four different clubs in four years across the Netherlands and the U.S.

A long-range strike against the USA U-20s earned her the Player of the Match award.

Foederer started playing football at age six with Rood Wit V in Veldhoven.

Before joining PSV, she played with boys' teams until she was 15 or 16, which she credits for helping her develop as a player.

Her brother Nick is also a professional football player.

She studied Applied Psychology at NTI.

She finished her bachelor’s degree online while playing professionally.

On her days off, she enjoys going on hikes.

Besides football, she also likes playing tennis.

Her go-to karaoke song is "Dromendans," which is a Dutch song.

She considers herself an extrovert.

She didn’t originally plan to move to the U.S. but saw Utah Royals as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to grow as both a player and a person.

Her biggest goal is to play for the Dutch senior national team and represent her country at the highest level.

She had a season ticket for PSV games as a child, showing how big of a fan she was before joining the team.

She was scouted for a professional men's team, but she wasn’t allowed to play in official matches because she was a girl. She was only allowed to train with them.
