PSV Women play the final of the TOTO KNVB Beker against FC Twente on Saturday afternoon (14.00 hrs). Here are four players to watch out for during the final match at Het Kasteel.
Nicky Evrard has been the PSV Women's goalkeeper since this season. The 29-year-old Belgian goalkeeper made the switch from Chelsea FC in 2024 and quickly became a fixed value under the bar. With her in goal, PSV only conceded eleven goals this season, the lowest number in the league and no less than six fewer than cup opponent FC Twente - where she played between 2017 and 2019.

At the heart of the defense is captain Gwyneth Hendriks. Since her transfer from ADO Den Haag in 2022, the two-time international has become an indispensable link at PSV. With two previous cup finals - both with and against PSV - she brings plenty of finals experience with her despite her relatively young age (24).

Since her arrival from sc Heerenveen in 2023, the versatile Nina Nijstad has become a fixture in the team of head coach Roeland ten Berge. The 22-year-old Junior player excels with her dribbling and insight, and can play in several positions. During matches she regularly appears on the flanks.

Swiss Riola Xhemaili currently plays on a rental basis for PSV Women, coming from VfL Wolfsburg. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder cum flank player has quickly proven herself to be a fixture. With her quick feet, hard working mentality and head strength, she is an important link in PSV's attack.
