Matisse Didden

Matisse Didden of FC Utrecht was born in As, Belgium on 8 October 2001 (age 24).

Matisse Didden, born on 8 October 2001 (age 24), is a Belgian central defender with FC Utrecht. A commanding 6ft 6in (1.97m), he wears squad number 40 and has become a regular first-team presence rather than a fringe option.

His 2025-2026 season has been the clearest marker of that standing. Didden has made 24 league appearances for Utrecht, scoring twice, making it his most productive league campaign so far. Across all competitions, he has played 32 times and scored 2 goals, with minutes in the Eredivisie, KNVB Beker, Europa League qualifying and the Europa League proper.

His market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt. For a developing centre-half, the shape of the profile is straightforward enough: tall, established in the current Utrecht side, and still building his senior career.
