Jacob Toppel Schoop (born 23 December 1988) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Næstved Boldklub.

Club career

[edit]

Schoop began his career with lower league Odense sides Tarup-Paarup and B1909, before switching to FC Fyn in January 2008 after having a strong debut season for the B1909 first team in the Denmark Series.[1] As a youth, Schoop had been offered a three-year contract with a team in the United States, but had turned it down in order to finish his education in Denmark.[2]

In the summer of 2011, Schoop moved to Odense Boldklub (OB) from FC Fyn.[3] He made nine appearances in the spring of 2012.

On 14 April 2015, Schoop signed for Icelandic side KR Reykjavík.[4]

In July 2016, Schoop moved to Vejle Boldklub.[5] Before the 2017–18 season, coach Adolfo Sormani named Schoop the captain of Vejle Boldklub.[1] On 27 January 2022, Schoop made a surprising move to Danish 1st Division club FC Helsingør, where he signed a deal until June 2023.[6] The contract was later extended with one year.[7] After a season that ended in relegation for Helsingør, Schoop's contract was set to expire in the summer of 2024 and he left the club.[8]

On July 8, 2024, newly-relegated Danish 2nd Division side Næstved Boldklub confirmed that they had brought in Schoop in a flexible role where he would both play and coach at the club's sports college.[9]
