Early life edit

Born in Valkenswaard, Netherlands, Van de Donk grew up playing football with boys. Her uncle noted, "If she started training at FC Eindhoven, she was laughed at by the boys.

On 7 October 2016, Van de Donk signed a new contract with Arsenal[22] and was a starting midfielder in 14 of the 15 games she played.

Van de Donk was instrumental in Arsenal's 2018–19 WSL championship season. She scored 23 combined goals and assists in all competitions.

Marking her fifth year with the club, Van de Donk signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal in March 2019.[29] Of the signing, Arsenal manager Joe Montemurro said, "She brings a world class attitude and quality that are vital to our team."[26] During the 2019–20 season, she scored five goals in 15 matches.[2] The FA suspended the season because of the COVID-19 pandemic, deciding the competition based on points per game.[30] Arsenal finished in third place with a 12–3–0 record and played in the 2019–20 FA WSL Cup, where they eventually lost 2–1 to Chelsea during the 2020 FA Women's League Cup Final.[31]

This time, the Netherlands won 2–1 and advanced to the quarterifinals. Of the match, The Guardian called Van de Donk "Holland's best player tonight."[44] The Dutch team faced Italy in the quarterfinal and won 2–1 advancing to the semifinal for the first time in team history.[45] Van de Donk played every minute of the semi-final against Sweden until the team scored a goal in the ninth minute of extra time and won the match 1–0, advancing to the final for the first time.[46] The Netherlands faced 2015 champions the United States and lost 2–0.[47] She also played in the Final. Following the loss, she noted: "The growth [of women’s football in the Netherlands] is ridiculous. If I look at women’s football and the hype, it’s amazing. I think that’s what I’m most proud of, that we got so much respect from the Netherlands."[48]

On 8 October 2019, Van de Donk scored a goal in her 100th international appearance, a 2–0 win against Russia.[7]
