Mikel Justin Cagurangan Baas (Dutch pronunciation: [baːs]; born 16 March 2000) is a Filipino professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Eerste Divisie club Jong AZ and the Philippines national team.

Club Career

Youth

Raised in Netherlands, Baas had his youth career at Always Forward, Volendam, and AZ.

Jong AZ

In 2018–19 season, Baas was promoted to the B-team of AZ. Baas made his debut with Jong AZ as a substitute, replacing Léon Bergsma at the 90th minute of the match in a 1–2 away victory against TOP Oss.[1]

International career

Baas was born in Philippines to a Dutch father and a Filipino mother, making him eligible to play for Netherlands or the Philippines. He initially chose Netherlands as he was a U-15 national team member playing a total of 3 games scoring 1 goal.

Philippines U-22 Olympic

Baas was part of the Philippines U-22 Olympic squad that competed in the 2019 Southeast Asian Games held in the Philippines.[2] On the second group match on 27 November, he scored the Philippines' only goal in a 2–1 loss to Myanmar.[3] During the pre-match formalities of the third group match against Malaysia, Baas slapped the hands and shoulders of the Malaysian players instead of giving them high fives or handshakes. A video clip of the incident became viral. His behavior was perceived as rude and was criticized by both Filipino and Malaysian fans.[4][5]

Philippines

Baas received his first call-up for the Philippines senior team in August 2019 when he was named in the squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Syria and Guam.[6][7][8] On 10 September, the 19-year-old Baas made his senior debut in a 4–1 away win against the latter.[9][10]
