Loes Geurts (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈlus ˈxøːrts];[3] born 12 January 1986) is a Dutch footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC of the Swedish Damallsvenskan. Since making her international debut in 2005, Geurts has collected over 100 caps for the Netherlands women's national football team. She kept goal for the Netherlands at the 2009 and 2013 editions of the UEFA Women's Championship.

After playing American college soccer for Western Illinois Leathernecks, Geurts featured in the German Bundesliga with FFC Heike Rheine. She then returned to the Netherlands and played in the Eredivisie with AZ and its successor Telstar. In 2012 she left Telstar for Sweden's Damallsvenskan and joined Vittsjö GIK.[4]

Geurts left Vittsjö after two seasons in November 2013. She signed for Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC, who were in the market for a goalkeeper following Kristin Hammarström's retirement.[5]

International career

On 20 August 2005 Geurts debuted for the senior Netherlands women's national football team, playing a 4–0 defeat to Finland in Oulu.[6]

In 2006 Guerts was elevated to first choice goalkeeper for the Netherlands when Marleen Wissink retired.[7] Geurts played in every match as the Netherlands reached the semi-final of UEFA Women's Euro 2009.

In June 2013 national team coach Roger Reijners selected Geurts in the squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden.[8]
