Kenneth Paal is a professional footballer who plays as a left back for EFL Championship club Queens Park Rangers and the Suriname national football team. Born in the Netherlands, Paal represented them at U17 level before switching to Suriname at senior level.

In June 2018, Paal joined PEC Zwolle on loan for the 2018–19 season with the club holding the option to buy.[3] In May 2019, he signed a three-year contract with the club.[4][5]
