Teun Koopmeiners (Dutch pronunciation: [tøːŋ ˈkoːpmɛinərs]; born 28 February 1998) is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Serie A club Juventus and the Netherlands national team. Having represented the Netherlands at various youth levels, Koopmeiners was called up to the senior team's preliminary UEFA Nations League squad in August 2020. He was later part of their squad for the FIFA World Cup in 2022 and 2026.
Koopmeiners grew up in Castricum, North Holland, and took his first steps in football as a youth player for the local club, Vitesse '22. In 2009, he joined the AZ youth academy at under-12 level. He eventually progressed through the ranks, and as part of the club's reserve team, Jong AZ, he became champion of the Dutch third division in the 2016–17 season, reaching promotion to the Eerste Divisie. On 18 August 2017, Koopmeiners made his professional debut for Jong AZ in a 3–1 away win over FC Den Bosch.
