Key Information

In 2012, he signed for Eintracht Frankfurt for a fee of €1.5 million and played regularly over three years, also competing in the UEFA Europa League.

Club career
[edit]1. FC Kaiserslautern
[edit]
Born in Merzig, West Germany, Trapp began his football career at FC Brotdorf, joining at seven years old.[5] He moved to neighbouring town, SSV Bachem aged twelve.[5] After spending two years there, Trapp joined SV Mettlach.[5][6] One day, he said in an interview on joining 1. FC Kaiserslautern, saying:
I told my coach I'd like to be down there on the pitch one day. I went home afterwards and from my own incentive, I looked up FC K and what opportunities they were offering. They were having trials. I wrote them an email explaining my situation and that I'd love to take part in the trials. I think it was September when I received a reply saying that it was currently not possible, however, that they would contact me in case the opportunity arose again. That is what they did a year later! 2003 or 2004. I was allowed to take part in the training sessions and from then on, everything took flight. I had the honour of being invited to play for the first team back when I was in the youth leagues due to the goalkeepers being off sick. SVV Bachum were already playing Youth Bundesliga. Kaiserslautern was also in that league. Therefore, when I got to play, it was a match against Kaiserslautern. I found out later as I was offered the contract that there were a bunch of coaches there watching the game. So, it wasn't just the email but also the performance![7]
Trapp started his professional career with 1. FC Kaiserslautern, where he progressed through the club's youth system.[8][9] During his time at 1. FC Kaiserslautern, Trapp said he learned a lot from Gerald Ehrmann.[10]
Trapp made his first appearance in the first team on 9 August 2008 in the 2008–09 DFB-Pokal round 1 against FC Carl Zeiss Jena, losing 2–1.[11] It was announced on 21 July 2009 that he signed his first professional contract with the club, keeping him until 2013.[12] Trapp made another appearance in the first team ten days later on 31 July 2009 in the 2009–10 DFB-Pokal round 1 against Eintracht Braunschweig, where he kept a clean sheet, in a 1–0.[13] Over the next two seasons, Trapp was involved in the first team, appearing as the club's third choice goalkeeper and then second choice goalkeeper.[14] At one point during the 2009–10 season, he suffered a shoulder injury that kept him out for three months.[15] By January, Trapp made a recovery.[16]
Since the start of the 2010–11 season, Trapp became the club's second goalkeeper for the side and was featured on the substitute bench.[17] On 12 March 2011, with regular goalkeeper Tobias Sippel sidelined with influenza, he made his Bundesliga debut in a 2–1 home win over SC Freiburg.[18] Competing with Sippel, Trapp played all eight remaining fixtures of the season.[19] During which, he kept three clean sheets for the side, including two in a row between 23 April 2011 and 29 April 2011 against Schalke 04 and FC St. Pauli.[20] At the end of the 2010–11 season, Trapp went on to make nine appearances in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2011–12 season, Trapp was linked with a move to Schalke 04 but he ended up staying at the club.[21] Following this, Trapp continued to be the club's first choice goalkeeper at the start of the season, beating out Sippel.[22] His performance was praised by Manager Marco Kurz, who said: "Kevin once again proved his class in a very emotional, intense game and saved the point. Overall, it was a happy FCK point win after the entire 90 minutes, which is morally very valuable."[23] Despite suffering from injury in late–October, Trapp continued to remain as the club's first choice goalkeeper.[24] Along the way, he kept clean sheets for the side, both coming against SC Freiburg and Werder Bremen.[25] However, in early–March, Trapp suffered a thigh injury and was sidelined for two matches.[26] After returning from injury, he found himself on the substitute bench, as Sippel was the club's first choice goalkeeper for the rest of the 2011–12 season.[27] As the season progressed, 1. FC Kaiserslautern was eventually relegated to 2.Bundesliga.[28] At the end of the 2011–12 season, Trapp made twenty–six appearances in all competitions.
Eintracht Frankfurt
[edit]On 7 May 2012, Trapp left relegated Kaiserslautern and joined promoted Eintracht Frankfurt on a four-year contract for a fee of €1.5 million.[29]
Trapp made his Eintracht Frankfurt debut, where he started the match, only to be sent–off in the 19th minute for a professional foul on Jakub Sylvestr, as the club lost 3–0 against Erzgebirge Aue in the first round of the DFB–Pokal.[30] Despite this, Trapp made his league debut for the club, helping the side win 2–1 against Bayer Leverkusen in the opening game of the season.[31] In a follow–up match against Hoffenheim, he kept his first clean sheet in his Eintracht Frankfurt's career, winning 4–0.[32] Since joining the club, he quickly became a first choice goalkeeper for the side.[33] The team had a good start to his first season, sitting in third place by November, and he received plaudits for his performances against leaders Bayern Munich despite losing 2–0.[34] Manager Armin Veh praised Trapp's performance, saying: "Kevin has a great mentality, is totally on the ground. He's going to get even better."[35] He then helped the club keep four clean sheets between 2 February 2013 and 10 March 2013.[36] However, his campaign ended prematurely in March 2013, due to a hand injury while with the national under-21 team.[37] Despite the injury, Trapp made twenty–seven appearances in all competitions and helped Eintracht Frankfurt finish sixth place in the league, therefore qualifying for the UEFA Europa League.[38]
Having served a one match suspension for his red card last season, Trapp made his first appearance of the season against Hertha BSC in the opening game of the season and conceded six goals, as Eintracht Frankfurt lost 6–1.[39] Since his return, he continued to regain his place as the club's first choice goalkeeper in the 2013–14 season.[40] Trapp played in both legs of the UEFA Europa League Play–Offs against Qarabağ, helping the side win 4–1 on aggregate to qualify the Group Stage.[41] He then helped Eintracht Frankfurt qualify to knockout stage of the UEFA Europa League Group Stage and helped the club earn four clean sheets along the way.[42] However, the club reached the last 32, where they lost on away goals to FC Porto after a 5–5 aggregate draw.[43] During a 5–0 loss against Bayern Munich on 2 February 2014, he suffered a bruise on his right tibia and was substituted in the 77th minute.[44] Following a check, Trapp was given all clear and returned to the starting line–up against Eintracht Braunschweig on 8 February 2014, as he helped the side win 3–0.[45] During the 2013–14 season, he saved four penalties, a record of his penalty saves in a season.[46] At the end of the 2013–14 season, Trapp went on to make forty–six appearances in all competitions.
Ahead of the 2014–15 season, Trapp was linked with a move to Borussia Mönchengladbach as a replacement for Marc-André ter Stegen, but stayed at Eintracht Frankfurt.[47] He also was given a captaincy by Manager Thomas Schaaf following the departure of Pirmin Schwegler.[48] Trapp made a good start as a captain when he helped the side earn two wins and four draws.[49] However, during a 2–2 draw against Mainz 05 on 24 September 2014, he suffered ankle injury at the last minutes and was sidelined for four months.[50] It wasn't until on 31 January 2015 when Trapp returned to the starting line–up against Freiburg, as they lost 4–1.[51] Following his return, he resumed his captain role, as well as, his first choice goalkeeper status.[52] It was announced on 2 March 2015 that he signed a three–year contract with the club, keeping him until 2019.[53] Since returning from injury, Trapp continued to regain his captaincy and his role as the club's first choice goalkeeper for the rest of the 2014–15 season.[54] At the end of the 2014–15 season, he went on to make twenty–three appearances in all competitions.
Paris Saint-Germain
[edit]
On 8 July 2015,[55] Trapp signed a five-year deal with Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain for a fee of around €10 million, and was assigned the number 16 jersey.[56]
Trapp made his debut on 1 August in the 2015 Trophée des Champions in Montreal, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 win over Lyon.[57] He then kept four clean sheets in the first four league matches of the season.[58] His five consecutive clean sheets ended when he conceded two goals, including a mistake that allowed Wahbi Khazri to capitalize the mistake, in a 2–2 draw against Bordeaux on 11 September 2015.[59] Despite the mistakes, Trapp regained his first choice goalkeeper role and then made amends from his mistake against rivals, Marseille on 4 October 2015, making impressive saves, including saving a penalty from Abdelaziz Barrada, as PSG won 2–1.[60] However, he suffered a hamstring injury while on international duty and missed one match as a result.[61] Trapp returned to the starting line–up against Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League match on 21 October 2015, starting the whole game, as he helped the side keep the match goalless, in a 0–0 draw.[62] Trapp went on to earn a total of four clean sheets, as PSG advanced to the UEFA Champions League Group Stage.[63] Following this, he kept three consecutive clean sheets between 19 December 2015 and 16 January 2016 against SM Caen, Bastia and Toulouse.[64] Trapp then played in both legs of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 against Chelsea, as he helped the side win 4–2 to advance to the next round.[65] During the 2015–16 season, Trapp overtook Salvatore Sirigu as PSG's first choice goalkeeper in the club's Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League matches, while the Italian played in the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue, as he helped the club win a domestic quadruple.[66] At the end of the 2015–16 season, Trapp went on to make forty–six appearances in all competitions.

At the start of the 2016–17 season, Trapp was in goal as PSG won the 2016 Trophée des Champions in Austria, a 4–1 win on 6 August against Lyon again.[67] Shortly after, he switched number shirt to number one.[68] Despite being featured in the first four league matches of the season, Trapp was dropped in favour for youngster Alphonse Areola.[69] Following Areola's injury, Trapp returned to the starting line–up for the next two matches, where he kept two clean sheets.[70] But following Areola's poor performance, he returned to the starting line–up once again, coming against FC Lorient on 21 December 2016 and kept a clean sheet, as PSG won 5–0.[71] This was followed up by keeping three consecutive clean sheets between 7 January 2017 and 21 January 2017.[72] However, during a 1–1 draw against AS Monaco on 29 January 2017, Trapp suffered a muscle injury and was substituted in the 54th minute; he was sidelined for two weeks.[73] He returned to the starting line–up two weeks later on 10 February 2017, keeping a clean sheet, in a 3–0 win against Bordeaux.[74] In a follow–up against Barcelona in the first leg of UEFA Champions League Round of 16, Trapp helped the side win 4–0, earning himself a clean sheet.[75] After keeping another clean sheet against AS Nancy on 4 March 2017, Trapp said about the match against Barcelona in the second leg, saying: "We have to go to Barcelona as if it was our first match. We cannot say that we will have to (only) defend. It is not our game. We are to have possession, to control. We know that Barça is capable of doing many things. We had a very good first leg match (4-0). You have to do the same thing on your return. Because in front, they are able to score at any time, every minute. You will have to be very focused."[76] However, in the second leg against FC Barcelona, Trapp conceded six goals, as the opposition made a comeback from 4–0 down and score six goals to send them through, eliminating PSG from the tournament.[77] He later reflected in an interview, saying: "In Barcelona, it's complicated to say what happened. I believe that will never happen again. I do not think we were nervous. From the beginning, we found ourselves in danger, because of Barca's advanced players. We had never experienced such a tough match, with such pressure from the opponent, but there's still no excuse. It's just a game to forget, inexplicable, something that had never happened before. There were also refereeing decisions. I think all the factors were against us."[78][79] In April the following month, he started in goal as PSG beat Monaco 4–1 to claim a record fourth straight Coupe de la Ligue title but was an unused substitute in a 1–0 win over Angers which saw PSG lift the Coupe de France title the following month.[80] At the end of the 2016–17 season, Trapp went on to make thirty–one appearances in all competitions.

Ahead of the 2017–18 season, Trapp said in an interview with L’Equipe that he's expecting to compete against Areola for the first choice goalkeeper role once again.[78][79][81] Since the start of the 2017–18 season, however, Manager Unai Emery began using Areola as the first choice goalkeeper in the league and UEFA Champions League, while Trapp played in the Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue.[82] It wasn't until on 29 November 2017 when he made his first appearance of the season, starting the whole game, in a 2–0 against Troyes.[83] A month later on 20 December 2017 when Trapp made his second league appearance of the season, in a 3–1 win against SM Caen.[84] Trapp then helped PSG reach the final of Coupe de la Ligue after beating Rennes 3–2 in the semi–finals on 30 January 2018.[85] A week later on 7 February 2018, he was sent–off for receiving a straight red card in a last minutes, in a 4–1 win against Sochaux in the third round of the Coupe de France.[86] After serving a two match suspension, Trapp didn't return to the starting line–up until a match against rivals, Marseille on 28 February 2018, where he kept a clean sheet, in a 3–0 win.[87] On 31 March 2018, in a repeat of the previous season's final, Trapp started in goal as PSG retained the Coupe de la Ligue title with a 3–0 win over Monaco.[88] On 8 May 2018, he played in 2018 Coupe de France Final as PSG won 2–0 against Les Herbiers to clinch the trophy.[89] At the end of the 2017–18 season, Trapp went on to make fourteen appearances in all competitions.

After a successful loan spell, Trapp re-signed with Eintracht Frankfurt on 7 August 2019 on a five-year deal worth €7 million.[98] Trapp's first game after signing for the club on a permanent basis came in the opening game of the season against Hoffenheim, where he kept a clean sheet, in a 1–0 win.[99] Trapp then played in both legs of the UEFA Europa League Play–Off Round against RC Strasbourg, as he helped the side win 3–1 on aggregate to send them through to the Group Stage.[100] However, during a 2–1 win against Union Berlin on 27 September 2019, Trapp suffered a shoulder injury that kept him for the rest of 2019.[101] It wasn't until on 18 January 2020 when he returned to the starting line–up, in a 2–1 win against Hoffenheim.[102] Since returning from injury, Trapp regained his place as the club's first choice goalkeeper for the rest of the 2019–20 season.[103] His return was praised by the German and the club's manager Adi Hütter.[104] Despite the season being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he finished the 2019–20 season, making 34 appearances in all competitions.

Kevin Trapp
View on GrokipediaEarly life
Upbringing in Merzig
Kevin Trapp was born on 8 July 1990 in Merzig, Saarland, Germany, to German parents. Raised in this small town near the French border, Trapp grew up in a close-knit family environment that emphasized discipline and community values.[8] Around 2001 or 2002, Trapp's family relocated within Saarland to Mettlach due to his father's job requirements.[9] This move occurred during his early teenage years, maintaining the family's ties to the local Saarland culture and landscape. Trapp received his early education at local schools in Merzig, including the Peter-Wust-Gymnasium, where he balanced academic pursuits with a growing interest in physical activities.[10] His childhood was marked by non-football influences such as family outings and community events, fostering a grounded upbringing in the industrial Saarland region. Trapp's initial exposure to football came through watching local matches and idolizing German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn, whose performances inspired his early fascination with the sport during family viewings.[11] This interest soon led to his transition into organized youth training.Youth football beginnings
Kevin Trapp began his organized football journey at the age of seven, joining the youth ranks of local club FC Brotdorf in 1997.[12] Playing in the Saarland region near his hometown of Merzig, he quickly developed an interest in goalkeeping, honing his skills in amateur settings supported by his family's encouragement.[13] By his early teens, Trapp had progressed through regional youth setups, moving to SSV Bachem from 2000 to 2003, where he continued as a goalkeeper in local competitions.[12] He then transferred to SV Mettlach for the 2003–2005 period, competing in youth leagues that emphasized fundamental techniques and team play within the Saarland football structure.[12] In January 2007, at age 16, Trapp took a proactive step toward professional development by emailing 1. FC Kaiserslautern to request a trial after spotting an advertisement on the club's website.[9] Impressing during the tryout, he secured a youth contract with the club, joining their U17 team and marking his entry into a professional academy environment focused on advanced training and regional youth competitions.[13]Club career
1. FC Kaiserslautern
Kevin Trapp signed a youth contract with 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 2007 after joining the club's academy in 2005, where his early training honed the technical skills that prepared him for professional demands. He was promoted to the senior team in 2008 at the age of 18, serving as a backup goalkeeper behind established starter Tobias Sippel during the 2. Bundesliga campaign.[13] Trapp made his professional debut on August 10, 2008, starting in a 3–2 home victory over Rot-Weiss Essen in the 2. Bundesliga, where he demonstrated composure with several crucial interventions to secure the win. Throughout the 2008–09 season, he featured in 22 appearances across all competitions, gradually earning trust from manager Alois Reitbauer and contributing to Kaiserslautern's solid mid-table finish that set the stage for their promotion push the following year. His performances included notable saves in tight matches, helping stabilize the defense as the team built momentum toward Bundesliga return. In the 2009–10 2. Bundesliga season, Trapp appeared in 20 matches, often stepping in during injury crises or rotations, and played a pivotal role in the promotion battle with key saves against sides like VfL Bochum and SC Freiburg that preserved vital points. Kaiserslautern secured promotion to the Bundesliga that year. In the 2010–11 Bundesliga season, he made additional appearances amid the relegation battle. Despite Kaiserslautern's eventual drop to the 2. Bundesliga in 2012, Trapp's reliability earned him recognition as an emerging talent. Over his time at the club, he amassed 91 appearances before departing in 2012.Eintracht Frankfurt (first spell)
Trapp joined Eintracht Frankfurt from 1. FC Kaiserslautern on July 1, 2012, for a transfer fee of €1.5 million, signing a four-year contract ahead of the club's return to the Bundesliga following promotion. His prior experience at Kaiserslautern, where he had made his Bundesliga debut in 2011, aided his adaptation to the top flight.[13] Trapp made his competitive debut for Frankfurt on August 19, 2012, in the DFB-Pokal first round against Erzgebirge Aue, though he was sent off after 19 minutes for a professional foul, resulting in a 3–2 penalty shootout loss following a 2–2 draw.[3] His Bundesliga debut followed on August 25, 2012, in a 2–1 home victory over Bayer 04 Leverkusen, where he contributed to the clean sheet efforts in the first half before the goals were conceded.[14] From the 2012–13 season, Trapp established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper, starting 26 of 34 Bundesliga matches that year and helping Frankfurt secure a sixth-place finish, which qualified the club for the UEFA Europa League.[13] Over the subsequent three seasons, he accumulated 82 Bundesliga appearances, demonstrating consistency despite a hand injury in 2014–15 that limited him to 22 league games.[15] Trapp's performances were particularly notable during Frankfurt's 2013–14 DFB-Pokal campaign, where he featured in key matches en route to the quarterfinals, including a 2–0 second-round win over VfL Bochum and a 3–1 round-of-16 victory against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, before a 3–1 quarterfinal defeat to FC Schalke 04.[16] Across all competitions in his first spell, he made 96 appearances and recorded 35 clean sheets before departing in 2015.[5]Paris Saint-Germain
Kevin Trapp joined Paris Saint-Germain on 8 July 2015, signing a five-year contract for a reported transfer fee of €10 million from Eintracht Frankfurt, where he was positioned as the backup goalkeeper to incumbent starter Salvatore Sirigu.[17] His prior experience in the Bundesliga facilitated a smooth adaptation to the demands of Ligue 1 and the club's high-pressing style under manager Laurent Blanc. During the 2015–16 season, Trapp displaced Sirigu to become the first-choice goalkeeper, featuring in 49 matches across all competitions, including 10 appearances in the UEFA Champions League group stage and knockout rounds.[18] He contributed significantly to PSG's domestic treble that year, securing the Ligue 1 title, Coupe de France, and Coupe de la Ligue, while helping the team advance to the Champions League quarterfinals before a defeat to Manchester City. The following 2016–17 campaign saw Trapp remain pivotal in another Ligue 1 triumph and additional cup successes, including the Trophée des Champions, as PSG continued its era of domestic dominance.[19] Over his time at PSG until 2021, Trapp amassed 91 appearances in all competitions, establishing himself as a reliable presence in goal during the club's most successful period. A standout moment came in the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League round of 16 against Barcelona, where he kept a clean sheet in a historic 4–0 first-leg victory at the Parc des Princes—PSG's largest-ever win over the Spanish giants—though the team suffered a 6–1 second-leg loss to exit on aggregate. Despite such highlights, PSG's European campaigns under Trapp frequently ended in quarterfinal exits, including losses to Barcelona in 2016–17 and Real Madrid in 2017–18. Starting in the 2018–19 season, Trapp's playing time gradually diminished following the arrivals of veteran Gianluigi Buffon on a free transfer and, later, Keylor Navas from Real Madrid in 2019, relegating him to a rotational or backup role with sporadic starts in domestic cups, though he remained registered for trophies. He departed the club as a free agent at the end of his contract in summer 2021, having won a total of three Ligue 1 titles, three Coupe de France trophies, four Coupe de la Ligue titles, and three Trophée des Champions during his time there.[19]Eintracht Frankfurt (second spell)
Trapp rejoined Eintracht Frankfurt on a permanent free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in June 2019, signing a three-year deal after an initial loan spell the previous season. His experience from PSG brought tactical maturity to the squad, helping stabilize the defense as the club aimed to build on their competitive form. Appointed club captain in August 2024 following the departure of Sebastian Rode, Trapp assumed a leadership role, guiding the team through high-stakes matches with his vocal presence and organizational skills.[20] During his second stint, Trapp made over 250 appearances across all competitions by the end of the 2024–25 season, becoming a cornerstone of the team.[3] He played a pivotal role in Eintracht's 2021–22 UEFA Europa League triumph, starting every match en route to the title, including the dramatic quarterfinal comeback against Barcelona where Frankfurt overturned a first-leg draw with a 3–2 away victory in the second leg for a 4–3 aggregate win.[21] In the final against Rangers, Trapp's crucial save in extra time and during the penalty shootout secured the 5–4 shootout victory after a 1–1 draw, marking the club's first European trophy in over 30 years.[22] The following season, he was instrumental in reaching the 2022–23 DFB-Pokal final, keeping clean sheets in key knockout rounds such as the 2–0 quarterfinal win over VfB Stuttgart, though Eintracht ultimately fell 2–0 to RB Leipzig in the final.[23] In Bundesliga play, Trapp recorded more than 40 clean sheets over his second spell, contributing to consistent mid-table finishes and occasional European qualifications.[24] Trapp faced challenges from injuries, including a thigh muscle tear in September 2024 that sidelined him for several weeks and a lower leg issue earlier in the campaign, during which backup Jens Grahl stepped in for multiple matches.[25] Despite these setbacks, he maintained his status as the primary goalkeeper, demonstrating resilience and quickly regaining his spot upon recovery.[26] Trapp extended his contract multiple times to affirm his commitment, first in August 2021 until 2023, then in February 2023 until 2026 with an option for an additional year.[27] His tenure ended after the 2024–25 season amid squad restructuring, as he departed for Paris FC on a free transfer in August 2025, leaving behind a legacy of leadership and trophy-winning moments.[5]Paris FC
On August 19, 2025, Kevin Trapp signed a three-year contract with Paris FC on a free transfer after leaving Eintracht Frankfurt, marking his return to the French capital following a previous stint at Paris Saint-Germain.[5][7] Trapp made his debut for Paris FC in Ligue 1 on August 31, 2025, against FC Metz, contributing to the team's efforts. He helped secure a clean sheet in a subsequent appearance, aiding the team's strong start in the league.[24] Joining a relatively young Paris FC squad in their first Ligue 1 season after promotion, Trapp's extensive experience from top-tier leagues provided vital stability in goal, with the team conceding few goals across his initial games.[28] The move also offered Trapp additional opportunities in modeling, reportedly tied to his return to Paris through a potential collaboration with Louis Vuitton.[29] As of November 14, 2025, Trapp had made 10 appearances for Paris FC in Ligue 1, achieving a save rate of approximately 70% while anchoring the defense in their efforts to establish in the top flight.[30]International career
Youth career
Trapp received his first call-up to a German national youth team with the U17 squad in 2007, shortly after joining 1. FC Kaiserslautern's youth setup, which facilitated his international breakthrough.[13] He earned several appearances during qualification matches and was included in the squad for the 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup in South Korea, where Germany secured third place after defeating Ghana in the bronze medal match.[13] Although primarily a backup goalkeeper behind Fabian Giefer, his presence in the tournament marked an early highlight in building competitive experience at the international level. Advancing through the ranks, Trapp debuted for the Germany U19 team in September 2008 against the Czech Republic, starting in a 2–1 defeat.[31] Over the following year, he accumulated six caps, playing a key role in the team's successful qualification campaign for the 2009 UEFA European Under-19 Championship held in Ukraine.[32] His performances at this level demonstrated growing reliability between the posts, contributing to a squad that featured emerging talents across German youth football. Trapp's youth career culminated at the U21 level from 2010 to 2013, where he earned 11 caps under coaches like Rainer Adrion. These included matches in the 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifiers, during which he vied for the starting position against promising goalkeepers such as Marc-André ter Stegen. In total, Trapp amassed 21 caps across Germany's youth teams, honing his skills in high-stakes environments that prepared him for senior professional demands.[31]Senior career
Trapp earned his first senior call-up to the Germany national team in May 2017 and made his debut on 6 June 2017, starting in a 1–1 friendly draw against Denmark in Brøndby, where he played the full 90 minutes.[33] These appearances came shortly after his inclusion in Germany's squad for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, though he remained an unused substitute throughout the tournament, which Germany won. Trapp was named as the third-choice goalkeeper behind Manuel Neuer and Marc-André ter Stegen for Germany's 2018 FIFA World Cup squad, announced on 4 June 2018, but did not feature in any of the three group stage matches as Germany exited in the first round.[34] He accumulated six caps by the end of 2022, including starts in friendlies against France (2–2 draw on 14 November 2017) and Brazil (0–1 loss on 27 March 2018), as well as a UEFA Nations League fixture, the 1–1 draw with Spain on 3 September 2020. Additional appearances included starts against the Czech Republic (1–0 win on 11 November 2020), Israel (2–0 win on 26 March 2022), Ukraine (3–3 draw on 12 June 2023), and Turkey (2–3 loss on 18 November 2023).[35] Trapp also participated in UEFA Euro 2020, serving as a backup without appearances during the tournament. Trapp was included in Germany's 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar but remained an unused substitute across all three group stage games, with Neuer starting each as Germany was eliminated following a 1–2 loss to Japan, a 1–1 draw with Spain, and a 4–2 defeat to Costa Rica.[36] His ninth and final cap came on 21 November 2023, starting in a 0–2 friendly loss to Austria in Vienna, where he conceded both goals after Leroy Sané's red card.[37] Despite his experience, Trapp was overlooked for Germany's UEFA Euro 2024 squad in June 2024, with Julian Nagelsmann opting for Neuer as the primary goalkeeper and Alexander Nübel as the backup amid competition and Trapp's recent club form at Eintracht Frankfurt.[38] As of November 2025, Trapp has earned no additional caps since his ninth appearance in 2023.[35]Playing style
Goalkeeping attributes
Kevin Trapp, standing at 1.89 m (6 ft 2 in), utilizes his height to dominate the penalty area, enabling effective aerial challenges and broad coverage during set pieces and crosses.[2] This physical advantage contributes to his strong presence in high-pressure situations, where he frequently intercepts balls in the box.[39] Trapp excels in shot-stopping, demonstrating quick reflexes that have been pivotal in crucial matches. In the 2021-22 season, he achieved a save percentage of 73.2% across competitions, including notable reflex saves during Eintracht Frankfurt's Europa League campaign.[40] His agility allows him to react swiftly to long-range efforts and deflections, as evidenced by his performance in the 2022 Europa League final, where he made a stunning extra-time stop to deny Aaron Ramsey.[41] In one-on-one scenarios, Trapp's positioning and anticipation shine, often narrowing angles to force opponents into difficult finishes. He has saved 19 penalties throughout his career, including a critical stop against Aaron Ramsey in the 2022 Europa League final shootout, helping secure the title.[42] By November 2025, Trapp has recorded 103 clean sheets in top-tier leagues, underscoring his consistency in preventing goals.[24] Trapp has adapted well to contemporary football's high-pressing demands, minimizing errors on crosses through improved reading of play and proactive sweeping outside the box.[43] This evolution has reduced concessions from aerial threats, aligning with the modern goalkeeper's role in maintaining defensive solidity amid intense forward lines.[44]Distribution and leadership
Trapp demonstrates proficient footwork, particularly in his ability to distribute the ball accurately under pressure, with his reflexes aiding quick releases to maintain possession. His pass completion rate was 74.4% in the Bundesliga during the 2023–24 season while with Eintracht Frankfurt, completing 867 passes across 32 appearances.[40] This proficiency made Trapp comfortable playing out from the back, a skill that suited the possession-based style of Paris Saint-Germain during his tenure there from 2015 to 2018, where coach Laurent Blanc encouraged such risk-taking to align with the team's tactical philosophy.[45] Trapp exhibits a quiet leadership style, often leading by example rather than through constant vocalization, as he discussed in reflections on his role as Eintracht Frankfurt's captain. However, he became a vocal organizer during the club's successful 2022 UEFA Europa League campaign, providing crucial guidance to the defense en route to the title win against Rangers in the final.[46][5] In his time at Frankfurt, Trapp also mentored younger goalkeepers, including backup Jens Grahl, sharing experience from his extensive career to support the team's depth during injury periods and squad rotations.[47] His versatility extends beyond traditional goalkeeping; in a 2024 post-season friendly against VfL Germania 1894, Trapp played as an outfield player and scored twice, netting once from a header in the 65th minute and again from close range in the 82nd, contributing to a 13–1 victory that highlighted his all-around field presence.[48]Personal life
Family background
Kevin Trapp was born and raised in Merzig, Saarland, Germany, by his German parents in a modest household until the age of 14.[9] His mother passed away when he was nine years old, an event that profoundly impacted his early life but did not deter his development.[49] Trapp shares a close relationship with his siblings, including his brother, and frequently spends time with his two nieces, often sharing family moments publicly through social channels covered in media reports.[50] His father provided support for his early interests in sports, particularly football, helping foster an environment conducive to his passion despite family challenges.[8] The family experienced relocations around 2001 or 2002 for job-related stability while Trapp remained in Merzig until moving for his football career, an experience that instilled resilience in him.[9] Trapp maintains privacy regarding details of his extended family and heritage, with limited public information available beyond his immediate relatives.Relationship with Izabel Goulart
Kevin Trapp met Brazilian model Izabel Goulart in 2015 at a fashion event in Paris during his time playing for Paris Saint-Germain.[51] The couple began dating shortly after and have maintained a high-profile relationship since, often sharing glimpses of their life together on social media.[52] On July 5, 2018, Trapp proposed to Goulart, and the couple announced their engagement via Instagram, showcasing her diamond ring.[53] As of November 2025, they remain engaged without having married, continuing to support each other's professional endeavors.[54] Goulart has been a visible supporter at key moments in Trapp's career, including attending Germany's matches at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where she was seen in the stands wearing his jersey.[55] She also traveled to Seville for Eintracht Frankfurt's 2022 UEFA Europa League Final victory over Rangers, joining celebrations on the pitch afterward. Her presence has extended to other career transitions, such as Trapp's August 2025 move to Paris FC, which was partly influenced by opportunities in the French fashion capital that align with Goulart's modeling career, including potential collaborations like Louis Vuitton campaigns.[56] The couple splits their time between Paris, France, and Brazil as of November 2025, balancing Trapp's football commitments with Goulart's international work.[57] They frequently make joint public appearances at events, showcasing their partnership in both casual settings like beach vacations and more formal outings.[58]Career statistics
Club
