Matisse Didden

Matisse Didden of FC Utrecht was born in As, Belgium on 8 October 2001 (age 25).

Matisse Didden, born on 8 October 2001 (age 25), is a Belgian central defender with FC Utrecht. A towering 6ft 6in (1.97m), he wears the number 3 shirt and has a current market value of around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career is now largely a Utrecht one. Across three league seasons with the club, Didden has made 50 league appearances and scored four goals, a decent return for a centre-half whose first business is rather more basic than arriving in the box.

The 2025-26 season brought his strongest league output, with two goals in 24 appearances. In 2026-27, he has made 10 Eredivisie appearances and scored twice, along with one KNVB Beker outing, giving him 11 appearances and two goals for Utrecht across all competitions this season.

Didden’s profile is straightforward: a physically dominant Belgian centre-back whose senior career has taken proper shape at FC Utrecht. His record there gives the clearest measure of where he stands.
