Jessey Sneijder, Son of Champions League Winner, Signs First Professional Contract with FC Utrecht

Jessey Sneijder, the 18-year-old son of Dutch soccer legend Wesley Sneijder, has signed his first professional contract with FC Utrecht, extending until June 2028 with an option for an additional year. Jessey, an attacking midfielder like his father, progressed through the FC Utrecht youth academy and will play for Jong FC Utrecht in the Dutch second division next season. Wesley Sneijder, who won the Serie A, Champions League, and Italian Cup with Inter Milan in 2010 and was key to the Netherlands' 2010 World Cup final run, expressed pride in his son's achievement. Jessey described signing the contract as a dream come true and a new step in his development, aiming to earn significant playing time with the junior team. Wesley retired in 2019 and now works with FC Utrecht, where Jessey hopes to build a career that matches or surpasses his father's legacy. The signing marks the continuation of a football dynasty rooted in Utrecht, with Jessey following closely in the footsteps of his famous father.
