The Netherlands national football team has a key match ahead. Last result: Netherlands 5-1 Sweden (2026-06-20).
Valentijn Driessen hopes the team won't strategically aim for second place. The route after the group stage may be slightly more favorable if the Netherlands finishes second instead of first in Group F.
If the Netherlands were to finish second, Ronald Koeman's team would play the first match of the knockout phase on Monday at 19:00 (Dutch time) in Houston, where the stadium has air conditioning.
Next fixture: vs Tunisia (away, 2026-06-25).
