Florian Kastenmeier (born 28 June 1997) is a German professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Eredivisie club Feyenoord.

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Kastenmeier is from Regensburg and grew up as a Jahn Regensburg supporter, also working as a ballboy for the club.[1] He joined Jahn Regensburg's academy in 2006, having previously played youth football with SC Sinzing.[2][3] He played youth football with SV Burgweinting and FC Augsburg before in the 2015–16 season, moving to Augsburg's reserve team. He made 6 appearances in the 2015–16 season and 22 appearances in 2016–17.[4][5]

In February 2017, it was announced that Kastenmeier had agreed to sign for VfB Stuttgart II from summer 2017.[6] He played 57 times across two seasons for the team.[7][8]

Fortuna Düsseldorf

[edit]

In May 2019, it was announced that Kastenmeier had signed for Fortuna Düsseldorf on a contract until 2022.[9] Kastenmeier made his professional debut with Fortuna Düsseldorf in a 2–1 DFB-Pokal win over Erzgebirge Aue on 30 October 2019.[10] An injury to first-choice goalkeeper Zack Steffen allowed Kastenmeier to make his Bundesliga debut against Werder Bremen on 18 January 2020, though Kastenmeier scored an own goal as Fortuna lost 1–0.[11][12] Kastenmeier retained his place in the first team nonetheless, starting every remaining Bundesliga game for Fortuna in the 2019–20 season,[11][13] though Fortuna Düsseldorf would be relegated after finishing 17th.[14]

In September 2020, manager Uwe Rösler confirmed that Kastenmeier would retain his status of first-choice goalkeeper for the upcoming season.[15] On 28 January 2021, it was announced that Kastenmeier had extended his contract with Fortuna until summer 2024.[16] Kastenmeier made 33 league starts across the 2020–21 season.[17]

In August 2023, Kastenmeier's contract with Fortuna Düsseldorf was extended until summer 2026.[18]

Feyenoord

[edit]

In September 2026, Kastenmeier signed a 1+1 year deal with Dutch side Feyenoord.[19]

International career

[edit]

Kastenmeier made one appearance for the Germany national under-18 team in a 3–2 win over the United States in December 2014.[20]

Style of play

[edit]

Kastenmeier is 1.92 metres tall.[3] He played as a striker until he signed for Augsburg, being noted for his aerial ability.[21] He has been praised for his play in possession, with Kastenmeier suggesting this comes from his experience playing outfield,[21] and he has been noted for the quality of his long balls in particular.[22][23] Whilst initially unimpressive for Fortuna Düsseldorf in shot-stopping and one-on-one defending, he was later praised for his ability and development in these areas.[22][23]

Personal life

[edit]

Kastenmeier has a daughter, Mila, born in April 2020.[1]
