Maarten Vandevoordt

Maarten Vandevoordt of RB Leipzig was born in Sint-Truiden, Belgium on 26 February 2002 (age 24).

Maarten Vandevoordt is a Belgian goalkeeper, born on 26 February 2002 (age 24), now with RB Leipzig. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.92m), he wears squad number 26 and is valued at around £7m by Transfermarkt.

His career is still shaped overwhelmingly by Genk. Across six seasons there, Vandevoordt made 113 league appearances, giving him a substantial grounding at senior level before his move into the Bundesliga. For a goalkeeper still in his early twenties, that is the part of the story that carries most weight.

At RB Leipzig in 2026-27, he has made 12 appearances in all competitions, with eight in the Bundesliga and four in the Champions League. His path so far is a straightforward one: developed and established at Genk, then taken on by Leipzig as a tall, experienced young goalkeeper with plenty of first-team football already behind him.
