The Netherlands won their qualifying group and enter the tournament with a strong squad built around Virgil van Dijk, Frenkie de Jong, and strikers Cody Gakpo and Memphis Depay. Ronald Koeman's side reached the Euro 2024 semi-finals, showing they can compete with Europe's elite. Group F (Japan, Sweden, Tunisia) is navigable, though analysts note the Dutch are not yet among the top favourites.
