The Netherlands are gearing up for Euro 2024 with hopes of making a significant run in the tournament. Despite a recent drought in international success, the team showed promise by reaching the quarter-finals of the last World Cup and winning all three of their group games in the 2020 Euros before being eliminated by the Czech Republic.
Koeman will be looking to lead his side to success and regain the form that saw them defeat Italy and Croatia in the Nations League semi-finals. The Netherlands will face tough competition in Group D, with France, Poland, and Austria as opponents. France has previously bested the Netherlands in the qualifying rounds for the tournament.
The team will rely on experienced players like Virgil Van Dijk and Nathan Ake, as well as promising talent like Jeremie Frimpong, who has had a standout season at Bayer Leverkusen. Koeman named a 30-man provisional squad for the tournament, which will need to be trimmed to at least 26 players, including three goalkeepers, by the June 6 deadline.
With a mix of experience and talent, the Netherlands will be aiming to make their mark on the tournament and bring home the European title. The team’s fixtures include matches against Poland, France, and Austria. The team will kick off their campaign against Poland on Sunday, June 16th, followed by a clash against France on Friday, June 21st
