Fun Facts about Pleun

Quirky facts. Inspired by her game.

She spent several years in the youth system of VV Alkmaar before transitioning into the AZ women’s structure after the club took over the program.

She made her debut in the Azerion Vrouwen Eredivisie on 8 September 2023 against Excelsior Rotterdam.

After signing that contract, she said: “As a child I already had a season ticket for AZ and often sat in the stands. That I now stand on the field for this club still feels unreal.”

AZ technical manager Stefanie van der Gragt described her as the first player to progress fully from the club’s youth pathway into the women’s first team after the program’s relaunch.
