Gardien de but titulaire (Soccer/Football)

[fraisefrancaise]

Hello again,

I really appreciate all the football/soccer help I've gotten from all you pros on this forum.

Here's one more (and I hope it will be the last!):

How would you say "gardien de but titulaire"

Would the correct terminology be "Official goalkeeper" or "starting goalkeeper"?

Thanks!

"Starting goalkeeper" works, but "first choice goalkeeper" would be even more common, I think.

"Regular goalkeeper" as opposed to "replacement [substitute] goalkeeper".

First-choice goalkeeper.
