The Netherlands return to the World Cup Finals having missed out on the 2018 edition in Russia. They have made it to the World Cup Final on three occasions, losing them all. Their most recent defeat came when losing 1-0 to Spain in 2010, having previously been defeated in the 1974 and 1978 finals. They finished in third place at their most recent World Cup in 2014.
The Dutch are always respected in major tournaments but will have to put a disappointing EURO 2020 behind them.

Memphis Depay has been an excellent performer on the international stage and has 42 goals in 80 games. He burst onto the scene with PSV Eindhoven and earned a move to Manchester United, which sadly did not go to plan. He spent four years at Lyon, scoring 63 league goals before a dream move to Barcelona in 2021. He became the youngest Dutchman to score in a World Cup Finals when netting the winner against Australia in 2014. He also found the net against Chile in the same tournament.
Virgil Van Dijk, the side’s captain, is renowned as one of the best defenders in world football. Since joining Liverpool in 2018, he has won the UEFA Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup. A strong centre-back, he has both pace and impeccable timing, making it extremely difficult for attackers to pass him. As a result, he will be a crucial figure if the Dutch progress through this competition.
Frenkie de Jong was part of the young Ajax side which made it to the Champions League Semi-finals in the 2018-19 season. His performances in the competition attracted the attention of Barcelona, whom he joined in the summer of 2019. However, things have not been plain sailing with the Catalan giants, and he has recently been linked with a move to Manchester United, linking up with former Ajax boss Erik ten Hag. He has excellent ability on the ball and is known for his wide range of passing.
