Regina Maria Juliana van Eijk (born 9 March 2002) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Frauen-Bundesliga club Bayern Munich.[1] In 2021, she was seen as one of the most promising Netherlands youth prospects.[2]

Club career

Van Eijk started the 2021–22 season as Ajax's third choice goalkeeper, behind Lize Kop and Isa Pothof, but both of them suffered injuries.[3] This led to Van Eijk making her league debut against VV Alkmaar on 8 October 2021.[4] On 2 March 2022, she signed a new contract with the club.[5] On 22 June 2023, it was announced she had signed a one-year contract extension.[6] She won the NOS Sport Award 'Viral of the Year' after she made a sharp observation about Rafael van der Vaart's comments.[7] In the summer of 2024, she signed a three year contract extension with Ajax.[8]

On 11 June 2026, van Eijk signed for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich until 2029.[9]

International career

Van Eijk has represented Netherlands at different youth levels. In April 2025, she received her first call-up to the Netherlands national team as a replacement for injured Daphne van Domselaar.[10]

Personal life

Born in the Netherlands, van Eijk is of Hungarian descent through her mother.[11]
