Ian Anthony Feuer (born May 20, 1971 in Las Vegas, Nevada) is a retired U.S. soccer goalkeeper who spent most of his career with English clubs with time in Belgium and the United States. He runs his own soccer academy Premier Goalkeeping Academy in Southern California and is goalkeeper coach for the Los Angeles Galaxy. Feuer is also married to Lindsey Havens and has three children.
Feuer, the son of show business parents, was born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. While growing up, he developed a love for soccer after beginning to play at age 8. His coaches moved him to the goal when he was 11. Feuer's life took a significant turn when, at age 16, he attended a soccer clinic run by Harald Schumacher. Schumacher recommended that Feuer move to Europe to develop his skills and Feuer immediately took his advice.
Feuer moved to Belgium in 1988 where he signed with First Division club Brugge. In 1991, he joined Molenbeek, also of the Belgian First Division, on loan from Brugge. He played nineteen league matches For Molenbeek, before returning to the U.S.
While with Molenbeek, Feuer was also on the U.S. roster at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. Feuer and Brad Friedel were the two keepers selected for the U.S. Olympic Team. Feuer earned his lone cap with the U.S. national team when he came on for Mark Dodd in the 71st minute of a March 18, 1992 game against Morocco.
