Arthur Vermeeren, our eighteen-year-old youngster, clinched the “Dominique D’Onofrio” Prize for the top debutant under twenty in the Jupiler Pro League for the 2022-2023 season.
‘Tuurke’s” first-team debut occurred in August 2022 and he contributed significantly to the team winning the Double last year. He continued to shine in Antwerp’s historic qualification for the Champions League. Notably, he captained the team against Porto FC, and in a thrilling final match against FC Barcelona (3-2), he earned the title of Man of the Match.
In addition to his club achievements, Vermeeren received his first national team call-up in October, playing a role in securing European Championship qualification for the Belgian national selection in Germany next year.
