Stella Dianne van Gils (born 4 August 1999) is a Dutch field hockey player who plays as a midfielder.[1] She plays for club AHBC and is part of the Netherlands women's national field hockey team.[2][3] She made her debut for the national team on 30 May 2021.[4] She was part of the national team at the 2021 Women's EuroHockey Nations Championship.[5][6]
She was included in the Netherlands squad for the women's field hockey tournament at the 2020 Summer Olympics, held in July and August 2021. Though designated as an alternate player,[7] due to rule changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic she was eligible to compete in all matches (unlike previous tournaments, in which alternates could only compete after permanently replacing an injured player).[8] Though the Netherlands earned the gold medal, she did not make an appearance and was therefore ineligible to receive a medal.[9][10]
