On the evening of May 29, the Netherlands national team officially announced the 26 most outstanding names who will be present at Euro 2024. It’s not surprising to see top stars like Van Dijk, Ake, Depay, De Jong, De Ligt, among others.

Moreover, notable absences include Jurrien Timber of Arsenal and Joshua Zirkzee of Bologna, forwards who have attracted the interest of many clubs.

The Dutch national team remains one of the favorites for the Euro 2024 title after reaching the quarter-finals of the 2022 World Cup and narrowly losing to the champions Argentina on penalties. The Oranje secured their ticket to Germany in June by finishing second in the qualifiers behind the strong French team.

Coach Ronald Koeman inherits a talented squad from Louis van Gaal, giving him every reason to be confident of a good performance in Germany this summer.

At Euro 2020, the Netherlands surprisingly exited the tournament at the Round of 16 stage against the Czech Republic, and they will undoubtedly aim to improve their performance this time around. The last time the Oranje won the European Championship was in 1988 – a long time ago.

At Euro 2024, the Dutch national team will once again be in Group D with France, along with formidable opponents such as Poland and Austria.
