Emil "Miel" Gustav Mundt (30 May 1880 in Soekaboemi, Dutch East Indies – 17 July 1949 in Rotterdam) was a Dutch football player who competed in the 1908 Summer Olympics.[1] In the Netherlands, he played for H.V.V. (Hague Football Club).

Biography

He spent his entire playing career at H.V.V., winning the Dutch championship several times. In 1900, Mundt was a member of the H.V.V. side that participated in the first edition of the Coupe Van der Straeten Ponthoz in 1900, regarded by many as the first-ever European club trophy.[2] In the tournament, he scored one goal in the first round in an 8–1 trashing of hosts Léopold FC.[3]

He was the captain of the Dutch team at the 1908 Summer Olympics, helping his nation win the bronze medal in the football tournament. He only featured in one match, the 0-4 defeat at the hands of Great Britain.[1] In total, he earned four caps for the Netherlands (two wins and two losses), all of which as captain.[4]
