Breaking into the KAA Gent first team in 2015, Minnaert ended her second season in top-class Belgian football by playing in the Buffalos' first ever Cup success, a 3-1 victory over Anderlecht to win the 2017 Belgian Women's Cup Final. [4] [5]

After being beaten 3-2 by Genk in the following year's Cup semi-final, Gent returned to the Cup Final in 2019, defeating Standard Fémina de Liège 2-0 with Mariam Toloba and Minnaert scoring the goals. [6]

Minnaert spent two seasons with Club YLA from 2020, moving to reigning champions Anderlecht in 2022, winning back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024 with the Mauves. [7]

International career

Minnaert made her international debut with the Belgium Red Flames in a 3-0 victory over Slovakia on 27 February 2019. [8] [9]

At the start of 2022, Minnaert helped Belgium win the Pinatar Cup in Spain for the first time, beating Russia on penalties in the final after a 0-0 draw. [10]

Minnaert was named in the Belgium squad for Euro 2022 in England. In their second appearance at the continental finals, the Red Flames finished second in Group D behind group favourites France, against whom they conceded a narrow defeat (1–2), but ahead of Iceland with a 1-1 draw and Italy, who they edged out 1-0. Belgium lost 1-0 to Sweden in the quarter-finals. [11] [12]
