Why is it masculine?

Joueur is masculine because it derives from the Old French verb "jouer" (to play), and the agent noun suffix "-eur" (from Latin "-ator") naturally produces masculine nouns in French, following the pattern where most words ending in "-eur" are grammatically masculine. The feminine equivalent "joueuse" uses the suffix "-euse" to mark gender.
