Wiëlle Douma (born 13 January 2000) is a Dutch footballer who plays as defender for ADO Den Haag in the Eredivisie.[1] She grew up in Friesland and played with the FC Wolvega and Heerenveen youth teams, before playing for SC Heerenveen Vrouwen for six seasons.[3][4] She transferred to ADO Den Haag in 2021.[5] Douma is able to play in both the left- and right-back positions.[4]

At the age of fifteen she suffered a severe concussion in a match with the Heerenveen youth team. Recovery took one year, during which playing football was one of the few things that did not cause headaches. Remarkably, she made her debut for the first team during this period (PEC Zwolle - Heerenveen, 11 December 2015[6]). She has been playing with a protective headband ever since.[7]
