Andries Noppert (born 7 April 1994) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Eredivisie club Heerenveen.
[4] Trained through the youth ranks of Heerenveen, Noppert made his professional debut in 2014 for NAC Breda.
[6] During his stay in Italy Noppert received the nickname Il Grattacielo ("The Skyscraper" in Italian) from the country's media due to his height.
[13] Noppert quickly impressed, which resulted in Louis van Gaal calling him up to the Netherlands squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup on 11 November 2022,[14] where he was also selected to be the first-choice goalkeeper.
[16] What first looked to be a minor injury kept him out of play for four months, and having undergone surgery, Noppert returned to the pitch in Heerenveen’s last match of the regular season against Go Ahead Eagles.
