Barbara Lorsheyd (also spelled Lorsheijd, born 26 March 1991) is a Dutch footballer who plays as goalkeeper for Eredivisie club ADO Den Haag and the Netherlands national team.{{Cite web |url=https://adodenhaag.nl/nl/nieuws/laatste-nieuws/ado-vrouwen/8829-interview-barbara-lorsheyd-elfde-seizoen-voor-boegbeeld-ado-vrouwen |title=Interview Barbara Lorsheyd: elfde seizoen voor boegbeeld ADO Vrouwen |website=ADO Den Haag}}

Lorsheyd originally joined ADO in 2007 and subsequently played for SC Telstar and FC Twente, before returning to ADO Den Haag in 2017. She has represented the Netherlands women's national under-19 football team and was called-up to the senior Netherlands squad for the first time in 2013, serving as an understudy for eight years before making her official debut in 2021.

Club career

Lorsheyd started with football when she was young and played as a striker. Due to knee problems, her doctor told her she could not continue playing football. However, she decided to become a goalkeeper. She started playing with SV Loosduinen, and later with SV Wateringse Veld and with RKSV GDA.

She began her senior career at ADO Den Haag when the club was formed to join the inaugural 2007–08 season of the Eredivisie Vrouwen.{{cite news |title=ADO Den Haag heeft damesselectie rond |url=https://www.omroepwest.nl/nieuws/9997630/ado-den-haag-heeft-damesselectie-rond |access-date=24 October 2021 |publisher=Omroep West |date=1 June 2007 |language=Dutch}} She made her debut at the age of 16, spending seven seasons at the club. During the 2011–12 season she was the main goalkeeper of the team and won both the Eredivisie and the KNVB Beker. The next year she won the KNVB Beker again, making a decisive save from Anouk Dekker in the penalty shootout win over FC Twente.{{cite news |last1=Droppert |first1=Klaas-Jan |title=Topper tussen de doelpalen: Barbara Lorsheyd tikt 200 wedstrijden aan voor ADO |url=https://www.ad.nl/regiosport-den-haag/topper-tussen-de-doelpalen-barbara-lorsheyd-tikt-200-wedstrijden-aan-voor-ado~a2aeec58/ |access-date=23 October 2021 |publisher=Algemeen Dagblad |date=25 October 2019}} She was named the club's Player of the Season.{{cite news |last1=McClimon |first1=Neal |title=A super win over Australia and a trophy for Barbara |url=https://www.thehagueonline.com/sports/2013/07/04/a-super-win-over-australia-for-ado-ladies-and-a-trophy-for-barbara-2 |access-date=24 October 2021 |publisher=The Hague Online |date=4 July 2013}}

After more than 110 Eredivisie appearances for ADO Den Haag and five in the UEFA Women's Champions League, Lorsheyd moved to SC Telstar in 2014.{{cite news |title=Telstar VVNH trekt doelvrouw aan |url=https://www.nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/145313/telstar-vvnh-trekt-doelvrouw-aan |access-date=23 October 2021 |publisher=NH (media company) |date=14 June 2014 |language=Dutch}} During her time at Telstar, Lorsheyd was disappointed when a transfer to FC Basel Frauen fell through at late notice.{{cite news |last1=De Jong |first1=Maarten |title=Aftrappen met...

Lorsheyd left Telstar after two seasons to sign for national champions FC Twente in June 2016, explaining that she hoped to get back into contention for a place in the national team.{{cite news |title=Keepster Lorsheyd naar FC Twente Vrouwen |url=https://www.tubantia.nl/fc-twente/keepster-lorsheyd-naar-fc-twente-vrouwen~a878e03f/ |access-date=23 October 2021 |publisher=Tubantia |date=1 June 2016 |language=Dutch}} With Twente she participated in the 2016–17 UEFA Women's Champions League, including the 4–0 defeat by Barcelona staged at De Grolsch Veste before 7,035 spectators.{{cite news |title=Afstraffing FC Twente Vrouwen tegen Barcelona |url=https://www.ad.nl/sport/afstraffing-fc-twente-vrouwen-tegen-barcelona~aa42cf29/ |access-date=24 October 2021 |publisher=Algemeen Dagblad |date=16 November 2016 |language=Dutch}}

Eventually, after three seasons away from Den Haag, Lorsheyd returned to ADO as the team's number one choice in 2017.{{cite news |title=Barbara Lorsheyd verruilt FC Twente Vrouwen voor ADO Den Haag |url=https://www.tubantia.nl/fc-twente/barbara-lorsheyd-verruilt-fc-twente-vrouwen-voor-ado-den-haag~ac0a1c83/ |access-date=23 October 2021 |publisher=Tubantia |date=15 May 2017 |language=Dutch}} In April 2019 Lorsheyd made her 188th official appearance for ADO, passing Renate Jansen to become the club's record appearance holder.{{cite news |last1=Meijboom |first1=Johan |title=Eredivisie {{!}} Barbara Lorsheyd blikt vooruit naar de wedstrijd tegen Ajax |url=http://www.vrouwenvoetbalnederland.nl/2019/04/25/eredivisie-barbara-lorsheyd-blikt-vooruit-naar-de-wedstrijd-tegen-ajax/ |access-date=23 October 2021 |publisher=Vrouwenvoetbal Nederland |date=25 April 2019 |language=Dutch}} She played her 200th game for the club in October 2019.

In June 2021 Lorsheyd was an experienced member of the ADO Den Haag team beaten 1–0 in the KNVB Beker final by PSV, for whom Joëlle Smits headed the only goal.{{cite news |last1=Duijzer |first1=Glenn |title=Barbara Lorsheyd: ,,Niet altijd de beste ploeg wint de wedstrijd |url=https://haaglandenvoetbal.nl/2021/06/06/barbara-lorsheyd-niet-altijd-de-beste-ploeg-wint-de-wedstrijd/ |access-date=24 October 2021 |publisher=Haaglanden Voetbal |date=6 June 2021 |language=Dutch}}

International career

In September 2008, Lorsheyd was one of four ADO Den Haag players called up to the Netherlands women's national under-19 football team for a 2009 UEFA Women's Under-19 Championship qualifying round in Lithuania.{{cite news |title=Voetbalvrouwen onder 19 naar Litouwen |url=https://www.omroepwest.nl/nieuws/o99921880/voetbalvrouwen-onder-19-naar-litouwen |access-date=23 October 2021 |publisher=Omroep West |date=20 September 2008 |language=Dutch}} She made a total of five appearances at under-19 level.{{cite web |title=Barbara Lorsheyd |url=https://www.onsoranje.nl/teams/210484/speler/19242 |website=OnsOrange |publisher=Royal Dutch Football Association |access-date=23 October 2021 |language=Dutch}}

Lorsheyd was named to the newly-formed Netherlands women's national under-23 football team in April 2019, as one of two overage players alongside fellow goalkeeper and former ADO team mate Jennifer Vreugdenhil.{{cite news |title=Torny leidt vrouwenselectie onder 23 jaar |url=https://www.rtlnieuws.nl/sport/voetbal/artikel/4685201/torny-leidt-vrouwenselectie-onder-23-jaar |access-date=23 October 2021 |publisher=RTL Nieuws |date=20 April 2019 |language=Dutch}}

=Senior=

Coach Roger Reijners called up Lorsheyd to the senior Netherlands national team for the first time in November 2013, as a replacement for Loes Geurts who had an ankle injury.{{cite news |title=Keepster Geurts valt weg bij Oranje |url=https://www.tubantia.nl/sport/keepster-geurts-valt-weg-bij-oranje~a9d2aad1/ |access-date=23 October 2021 |publisher=Tubantia |date=19 November 2013 |language=Dutch}} She was called up to the national team on numerous subsequent occasions but did not make an official appearance for them.{{Cite web |url=https://www.omroepwest.nl/sport/3514732/oranje-debuut-lonkt-voor-ado-keepster-barbara-lorsheyd |title=Oranje-debuut lonkt voor ADO-keepster Barbara Lorsheyd |date=5 September 2017 |website=www.omroepwest.nl}}{{Cite web |url=https://www.rtvoost.nl/nieuws/270240/FC-Twente-keepster-Barbara-Lorsheyd-vervangt-Sari-van-Veenendaal-bij-Oranje |title=FC Twente-keepster Barbara Lorsheyd vervangt Sari van Veenendaal bij Oranje |website=RTV Oost |date=7 June 2017}} She was part of Reijners' 35-player preliminary squad for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada{{cite news |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/ajax-hofleverancier-voor-wkvoorselectie-leeuwinnen |title=Ajax hofleverancier voor WK-voorselectie Leeuwinnen |access-date=24 October 2021 |publisher=Voetbal International |date=24 April 2015 |language=Dutch}} and was also named on stand-by for the 2019 edition in France.{{cite news |title=Met deze Oranje Leeuwinnen gaat Nederland naar het WK |url=https://www.vi.nl/nieuws/met-deze-oranje-leeuwinnen-gaat-nederland-naar-het-wk |access-date=24 October 2021 |publisher=Voetbal International |date=10 April 2019 |language=Dutch}}

She was part of the pre-selection for the Dutch team at the 2020 Summer Olympics but not included in the final selection.{{Cite web |url=https://www.nu.nl/voetbal/6139830/dit-is-de-selectie-van-de-oranjevrouwen-voor-de-olympische-spelen.html |title=Dit is de selectie van de Oranjevrouwen voor de Olympische Spelen |date=16 June 2021 |website=NU}} As a relatively rare national team player who was not a full-time professional footballer, Lorsheyd had to make a financial agreement with the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB) which allowed her to train full-time in the run up to the tournament.{{cite news |last1=van Lieshout |first1=Amber |title=Lorsheyd onthult: Met de KNVB een regeling voor getroffen |url=https://www.vrouwenvoetbalnieuws.nl/lorsheyd-onthult-met-de-knvb-een-regeling-voor-getroffen/ |access-date=24 October 2021 |publisher=Vrouwen Voetbal Nieuws |date=17 August 2021 |language=Dutch}}

While training for the tournament in Japan, Lorsheyd collided with Sherida Spitse and inadvertently inflicted a knee ligament injury which ruled her team mate out of the Olympics. Spitse bore no resentment over the incident and the pair sat next to each other at the opening group match, before flying home together.{{cite news |title=Pechvogel Sherida Spitse brult voor Oranje Leeuwinnen |url=https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/874622157/pechvogel-sherida-spitse-brult-voor-oranje-leeuwinnen |access-date=24 October 2021 |publisher=De Telegraaf |date=21 July 2021 |language=Dutch}} Ever since Lorsheyd is still a member of the Netherlands women's national football team.{{Cite web |url=https://haaglandenvoetbal.nl/2021/10/20/keepster-barbara-lorshey-met-oranjeleeuwinnen-naar-cyprus/ |title=Keepster Barbara Lorshey met OranjeLeeuwinnen naar Cyprus |date=20 October 2021}}

In November 2021 Lorsheyd was called up again for a friendly match with Japan, to be staged in her home town of The Hague. In eight years with the national team she had still made no appearances, except for one in an unofficial friendly match with Belgium in 2017.{{cite news |last1=Droppert |first1=Klaas-Jan |title=Al bijna 8 jaar bij Oranje, maar nog geen debuut gemaakt: mag Barbara Lorsheyd eindelijk spelen? |url=https://www.ad.nl/regiosport-den-haag/al-bijna-8-jaar-bij-oranje-maar-nog-geen-debuut-gemaakt-mag-barbara-lorsheyd-eindelijk-spelen~aed215f6/ |access-date=2 December 2021 |publisher=Algemeen Dagblad |date=26 November 2021 |language=Dutch}} She played the full match in a 0–0 draw with Japan to win her first official cap.{{cite news |title=Oranjevrouwen komen niet tot scoren in bloedeloos duel met Japan |url=https://nos.nl/artikel/2407585-oranjevrouwen-komen-niet-tot-scoren-in-bloedeloos-duel-met-japan |access-date=2 December 2021 |publisher=Nederlandse Omroep Stichting |date=29 November 2021 |language=Dutch}}
