Angela Anna Christ (born 6 March 1989) is a Dutch former football goalkeeper who played for Eredivisie club PSV and for the Netherlands women's national football team.

Club career

While playing with previous club FC Utrecht she was twice named the Eredivisie's best goalkeeper, in 2010 and 2011. Before Eredivisie's foundation in 2007, she won two Hoofdklasse titles with SV Saestum and had debuted in the top division as a 14-year-old, with ODC Boxtel in 2003–04.

Christ made her final league appearance for Utrecht against PEC Zwolle on 18 May 2012.

In 2012, she joined PSV/FC Eindhoven ahead of the newly created BeNe League. She made her league debut against ADO Den Haag on 24 August 2012.

International career

Christ made her senior Netherlands women's national football team debut on 13 July 2009, a 3–2 win over South Africa in Amsterdam. She was taken to UEFA Women's Euro 2009 in Finland as one of two back-ups to recognised first choice goalkeeper Loes Geurts.

In June 2013 national team coach Roger Reijners selected Christ in the squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden. She was also part of the Dutch teams of the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and the winning team of the UEFA Women's Euro 2017.

After the 2017 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.

On 24 November 2017, she played her 17th match for the national team against Slovakia in a 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualification match which the Netherlands won by 5–0, a few days later, she announced her retirement from the national team.
