Netherlands national team plays against Tunisia in the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Thursday night. The match starts at 01.00 and will be played in what could be one of the warmest nights ever.

What happens?

The municipality of Amsterdam had already relaxed the rules for bars for this World Cup, but will not adjust them due to the heat. This means that Amsterdam bars are allowed to stay open, but the doors must be closed.

Why is this important for Netherlands?

The heat makes it impossible to watch the match on terraces. A blessing for cafes with air conditioning, but impossible for bars without.

What comes next?

Netherlands national team drew 2-2 against Japan on June 14, 2026. The team's recent form is 2W-2D-1L (DWLDW, most recent first).
