Maarten Vincent Paes (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈmaːrtə(m) ˈpaːs];[3] born 14 May 1998) is a professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Major League Soccer club FC Dallas. Born in the Netherlands, he represents the Indonesia national team.

Club career

NEC

In the 2017–18 season, Paes served as a backup goalkeeper to Joris Delle at NEC.[4]

Utrecht

In 2018, Paes had the opportunity to join FC Utrecht,[5] where he became the reserve goalkeeper behind David Jensen and Nick Marsman. He made his debut for the club on 19 August 2018, in a 2-0 home victory against PEC Zwolle.[6] Paes was given the opportunity to play as Jensen was ill, and Marsman was absent due to injury. This was his only match for the first team during the 2018/19 season, although he did play several matches for Jong FC Utrecht during that campaign.

At the start of the 2019/20 season, Paes surprisingly became FC Utrecht's first-choice goalkeeper. However, during the winter break, he had an awful shoulder blade injury that required around six months of recuperation. As a result, FC Utrecht chose to loan PSV's Jeroen Zoet for six months during the winter transfer window. Zoet had lost his starting spot early in the season to Lars Unnerstall.[7]

The 2020/21 season was a rollercoaster for FC Utrecht's goalkeeping position. Paes started the season as the first-choice goalkeeper, but after a few games, he was replaced by Thijmen Nijhuis.[8] Following the departure of John van der Brom, Paes returned to the starting lineup for a brief while. Ultimately, Eric Oelschlägel made the most appearances in goal that season.

Paes was sidelined from the starting lineup for the 2021/22 season, with Fabian de Keijzer taking over during the winter.[9] However, an injury to Fabian de Keijzer in early May allowed Eric Oelschlägel to walk onto the pitch, becoming one of three goalkeepers to do so that season.[10]

FC Dallas

On 20 January 2022, Paes joined MLS side FC Dallas on a six-month loan.[11] On 24 June 2022, Dallas exercised the option to make the transfer permanent.[12]

International career

Paes was a member of the Netherlands under-19 squads for both 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship and 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship, but he did not appear in any games, serving as backup to Yanick van Osch and Justin Bijlow respectively.

Paes was eligible to represent Indonesia through his grandmother who was born in Kediri. On 30 April 2024, he received Indonesian citizenship through naturalization, then needing permission from FIFA to become eligible to play for the national team. He was originally found to be ineligible, as he had represented the Netherlands under-21s at 22 years old, running into a FIFA regulation declaring that a player who has appeared for a national team at a competitive level over the age of 21 cannot change their national team.[13] On 18 August, PSSI chairman Erick Thohir confirmed that after a long process, Paes was officially declared eligible to represent Indonesia internationally.[14]

In September 2024, Paes was called up for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. He made his debut on 5 September in a 1–1 draw against Saudi Arabia.[15] In the match, Paes committed a foul inside the penalty box but managed to save the ensuing penalty kick by Salem Al-Dawsari. As a result, he was named the man of the match.[16] In the next match on 10 September 2024 against Australia, Paes managed to keep a clean-sheet in a 0–0 draw.[17]

Personal life

His maternal grandmother was born in Kediri, East Java, when it was called the Dutch East Indies.[18][13]

On 8 March 2024, FC Dallas announced Maarten Paes, Alan Velasco, and Tsiki Ntsabeleng had obtained U.S. Green cards, granting them permanent resident status in the United States.[19] On 30 April 2024, Paes officially acquired Indonesian citizenship.[20][21]
