Club career

Early career

edit

Raap began his career with amateur side HVC'10 before spending time in the academies of 's-Gravenzande and ADO Den Haag.[2][3]

After two years with Feyenoord, he joined fellow Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven in May 2021, signing a three-year professional contract at the age of fourteen.[4][5]

Jong PSV

edit

He made his debut with the club's reserve team, Jong PSV, on 23 October 2023, starting in an eventual 4–3 away loss to FC Eindhoven.[6] Raap was also called up for the 2025–26 UEFA Champions League matches, but he did not play.[7][8][9]

Ilves

edit

On March 26, 2026, PSV bid farewell to Raap. The 19-year-old defender moved to the club Ilves in Tampere. His contract with PSV was nearing its end.[10]

International career

edit

Born in Netherlands to a Curaçaoan father and Venezuelan mother,[11] Raap was eligible to play for both nations.[12]

Netherlands

edit

In 2019, while at Feyenoord, he was called up to the Dutch under-14 side.[13] He went on to play twice for the Netherlands under-17 team in early 2023.[14]

Venezuela

edit

He switched his international allegiance later in 2023, being called up to the Venezuela under-23 side for the 2023 Maurice Revello Tournament, but only went on to make one appearance, playing the entirety of a 1–0 loss to Morocco in the seventh place play-off.[12][15]

He was called up to the Venezuelan under-17 side in September 2023, and scored in a 3–2 friendly win over Japan.[16][17]
