Club career

Ajax

On 1 December 2019, Lang became the first Ajax player to score a hat-trick on his first league start in 60 years as Ajax came from two goals down to beat Twente 5–2.[5] Later that month, Lang scored his first goal in the KNVB Cup for Ajax, netting the opening goal in a 4–3 away win over Telstar in the second round.[6]

In January 2020, following Ajax's signing of Ryan Babel in Lang's position, he was loaned out to fellow Eredivisie side Twente for the remainder of the season.[7]

Club Brugge

2020–21 season: Loan and league title

On 5 October 2020, Ajax and Club Brugge reached a transfer agreement for Lang to move to Brugge on an initial loan with an obligation to make the signing permanent by 1 July 2021.[8] Three weeks later, he scored his first goal for the club from the penalty-spot in a losing effort against OH Leuven.[9] Lang scored in Club Brugge's 3–0 victory over Zenit Saint Petersburg in their penultimate UEFA Champions League group stage match on 2 December to keep alive Club Brugge's hopes of qualifying for the knock-out round.[10] However, Club Brugge could only manage a 2–2 draw in the final match against Italian side Lazio and were parachuted down to the Europa League for the Round of 32.[11]

On 28 January 2021, in his first appearance in a Bruges derby against Cercle, Lang scored the winning goal as Club Brugge came back from 1–0 down to win 1–2.[12]

On 20 May, Lang scored as Brugge drew 3–3 with rivals Anderlecht to win the Belgian First Division A title for the fourth time in six years and 17th time overall.[13] Lang was involved in 28 goal contributions during his first campaign with Club Brugge, scoring 17 goals and adding a further 11 assists.[14]

2021–22 season

On 17 July 2021, Lang scored in Club Brugge's 3–2 win over Genk in the Belgian Super Cup.[15] On 15 September, he earned the player of the match award in a 1–1 draw against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League.[16]

International career

Born in the Netherlands, Lang is of Surinamese descent through his biological father. He is a youth international for the Netherlands.[17] Lang considers himself Dutch, Surinamese and Moroccan but can't internationally represent the latter due to not having Moroccan citizenship.[18]

He made his debut for the Netherlands national football team on 8 October 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Latvia.[19]

On 11 November 2022, Lang was selected to represent The Netherlands at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Personal life

Lang was born in the Netherlands. His father is Surinamese, while his mother is Dutch.[20] He was raised by his stepfather, Moroccan international footballer Nourdin Boukhari.[21]

Chantings

In May 2021, a video circulated online showing Lang joining Club Brugge supporters in singing a song aimed at fans of rivals Anderlecht, who are seen as historically linked to the Jewish community.[22] He was investigated by the Royal Belgian Football Association. Noa Lang apologized for his chantings with supporters, claiming it was never the intention to be interpreted as anti-semitism, as it's nothing more than a nickname in chantings. Noa Lang, who played with AFC Ajax, before joining Club Brugge, was defended by the team's organisation in this fact.[23]
