Club career edit
van Lunteren began her senior career at Eredivisie team AZ Alkmaar before moving Telstar and later joining Ajax in 2012 to play in the first season of the short-lived BeNe League.
In June 2018, a personal sponsor helped her move to SC Freiburg, departing Ajax after 6 years and 166 matches.[2][3][4]
In July 2019, after one season in Germany, van Lunteren returned to Ajax on a two-year contract.[5] After finishing her contract she agreed terms with PSV and ended her career in Eindhoven in 2022.
International career edit
Van Lunteren was handed her first senior national team cap by coach Roger Reijners on 15 February 2012, in a 2–1 friendly defeat to France in Nîmes.[6][7]
She was called up to be part of the national team for the 2013.[8] and the 2017 UEFA Women's Euros.[9] At the 2017 tournament, Van Lunteren started 5 of the team's 6 games and helped the team win the tournament. She assisted a goal in the final before being subbed off in the 57th minute. After the tournament, the whole team was honoured by the Prime Minister Mark Rutte and Minister of Sport Edith Schippers and made Knights of the Order of Orange-Nassau.[10]
Van Lunteren was an integral part of the Dutch team that finished second in the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup in France, playing in every match.
She retired from the national team on 21 November 2019.[11]
