Liz Rijsbergen (born 14 February 2002) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a forward for Eredivisie club Twente.

Club career

ADO Den Haag

Rijsbergen made her Eredivisie debut against PEC Zwolle on 6 September 2020. On 26 November 2020, she signed a three-year contract extension. Rijsbergen scored her first league goal against Excelsior Rotterdam on 11 December 2020, scoring in the 54th minute. During her first season at ADO Den Haag, Rijsbergen played as both a right- and left-winger and had 5 goals and 6 assists.

Her final season in Den Haag was her most productive, as she led the team with 11 goals, which was fifth-most in the league. Rijsbergen was one of the nominees for Player of the Year award [nl], losing out to Fenna Kalma.

Twente

On 17 May 2023, Rijsbergen joined Twente on a two-year deal lasting until June 2025. She scored on her league debut against Telstar on 16 September 2023, scoring in the 13th and 32nd minute. She led the team in scoring with 10 goals in Eredivisie games, which tied for sixth-most in the league. However, she suffered a serious knee injury during an April match against FC Utrecht, which kept her off the pitch for the remainder of the season and the beginning of the 2024–25 season.

International career

Rijsbergen played on the Netherlands U-20 and U-23 teams. She scored two goals against Ghana during the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup for the Netherlands, which placed fourth in the overall tournament.
