Maarten Vandevoordt, born on 26 February 2002 (age 24), is a Belgian goalkeeper with RB Leipzig. A commanding 6ft 4in (1.92m), he wears squad number 26 and is valued at around £7m by Transfermarkt.
His career has been shaped overwhelmingly by Genk. Across six seasons there, Vandevoordt made 113 league appearances, giving him the kind of first-team grounding young goalkeepers rarely get without a few bumps along the way. Genk was not a passing stop in his development; it was where he became a senior keeper.
He is now with RB Leipzig, where his 2026-27 season has brought four Bundesliga appearances and one in the Champions League, five in all across competitions. The move has taken him into a stronger league and a different kind of scrutiny, but the outline of his career remains clear: a Belgian goalkeeper built at Genk, now trying to establish himself in Germany.
