Ryangelo "Angelo" Cijntje (born 9 November 1980) is a Curaçaoan former professional footballer, who played most of his career as a right back for BV Veendam.[1]

Club career

Cijntje played eight seasons with SC Veendam before appearing to leave the club when it was declared bankrupt in May 2010.[2] However, initially the club was able to have its bankruptcy reversed and he continued playing for the club in the following season.[3] The following season, Veendam were struggling financially again, and eventually went bankrupt on 25 March 2013. As a free agent, Cijntje signed for FC Groningen the next season, playing in the reserves for most of the season.[4] In April 2014, Cijntje appeared on the bench during a couple of Groningen's Eredivisie matches.

A few weeks later, he made his debut for the club. On 3 May 2014, in the home match against Heracles Almelo, Cijntje came on as a substitute for Nick van der Velden in the 84th minute, making his debut for the club at age 33. During the minutes he played in the game, the Groningen supporters were chanting his name and singing "All balls on Cijntje".[5] He retired from professional football at the end of the season and signed with Hoofdklasse side ACV Assen. From the 2016–17 season, Cijntje played three seasons for Veendam 1894.[6] He retired from football altogether in May 2019, after suffering a series of injuries.[7]

International career

Cijntje made his debut for the Netherlands Antilles in a January 2004 friendly match against Surinam. He then played in all four World Cup qualifying matches they played later that year.

Zij hebben met Marnix Kolder en Angelo Cijntje veel voetbalervaring in de ploeg rondlopen. Hoewel Cijntje geblesseerd is zullen we ook deze wedstrijd wederom heel serieus moeten nemen, maar ik denk dat we er op dit moment klaar voor zijn.’’.
