Anna Gerarda Maria "Claudia" van den Heiligenberg (born 25 March 1985) is a Dutch footballer, currently playing for USV Jena in the Bundesliga (women). She has won four league titles with Ter Leede and AZ.[2]
She is a member of the Dutch national team,[3] and played the 2009 European Championship. Her mother Mary van de Meer was also an international footballer.[4]
In December 2009, then national coach Vera Pauw dropped Van den Heiligenberg and Dyanne Bito from the squad ahead of a match against Belarus. The decision proved controversial and it was reported that the duo were kicked out because they were in a relationship.[5] Pauw angrily dismissed the claims, saying it was an insult to suggest they were excluded because of their relationship.[6]
Van den Heiligenberg and Bito remained together[7] and both were restored to the national team by incoming national coach Roger Reijners in 2010. A 2–0 win over Ireland in August 2010 was Van den Heiligenberg's 50th international cap. She was selected in the Netherlands squad for UEFA Women's Euro 2013 in Sweden.[8]
