Netherlands HubThe Netherlands is going for a group win in the World Cup. The team, led by coach Ronald Koeman, has the last match against already eliminated Tunisia entirely in their own hands.
What does this mean for the Netherlands' route?
Finishing first or second in the group can make a big difference for the rest of the tournament and the Netherlands' chances of advancing.
What is the current standing?
The Netherlands has 4 points after two matches, just like Japan. The Asian country can still finish first in the group if they win against Sweden.

|---|---|
| Last result | Netherlands 2-2 Japan (2026-06-14) |
| Recent form | 2W-2D-1L (DWLDW, most recent first) |
| Next fixture | vs Tunisia (away, 2026-06-25) |
What does the coach say?
Koeman wants the Netherlands to finish first in the group. The coach does not take into account the possible opponent in the round of 16 during the last group match.
The result of Japan against Sweden is also important. But the most important thing is us, said Koeman at a press conference.
