Sneijder was born into a football family. He began his career at Ajax's acclaimed youth academy.
In 2007, he was transferred to Real Madrid for 27 million euros— the second-highest fee paid for a Dutch footballer.
In 2009, he moved from Real Madrid to Internazionale for 15 million euros.
In 2010, he helped Inter win the Italian Super Cup against Roma, and was named by UEFA as the best club midfielder of the Champions League during the 2009-2010 season.
In 2012, Sneijder signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the Turkish club Galatasary.
He represented various youth squads for the Netherlands and became a regular in the Dutch national team after making his debut in April 2003 at the age of 18.
Now with over 100 caps to his name, Sneijder represented his country at the 2006, 2010 (where the Netherlands were defeated 1–0 in the final) and 2014 FIFA World Cups, as well as the 2004, 2008 and 2012 UEFA European Championships.
