Finn van Breemen (born 25 February 2003) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays a centre-back for Swiss Super League club Basel.
Van Breemen joined the academy at ADO Den Haag in 2012. He is a left footed central defender who can also play at left back although that is not his favourite position.[1] He made his Eerste Divisie debut on the 6 May 2022 against FC Emmen.[2] He described it as a “dream come true” but acknowledged the step up in pace and the change in atmosphere from youth age football.[3] June 2022, he signed his first contract with ADO Den Haag, which would have kept him with the club until the summer of 2024, with the option of an extra year.[4]
On 20 June 2023, van Breemen signed for Swiss Super League club Basel on a four-year deal.[5] He joined Basel's first team for their 2023–24 season under head coach Timo Schultz. After playing in three test games van Breemen played his domestic league debut for the club in the away game in the Kybunpark on 22 July as Basel were defeated 2–1 by St. Gallen.[6] He immediately became regular starter and remained regular in, the starting eleven even after the change of head coach to Fabio Celestini. He scored his first goal for his new team in the home game in the St. Jakob-Park on 30 July. It was his team's first goal of the match, in the 41st minute, as Basel went on to win 5–2 against Winterthur.[7]
International career
He featured for the Netherlands national under-21 football team in their 2–0 win over North Macedonia U21 on 12 September 2023 in a UEFA European Championship U21 qualification game.[8]
