Netherlands UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 Preview
Previous Euro Appearances: 5
Best Finish: Champions (2017)
Group: Netherlands is in Group D along with Wales, England and France
What Stands Out: There’s drama going on with this team, too. Earlier this year, the Dutch Football Association announced that coach Andries Jonker’s contract would not be renewed and that England assistant Arjan Veurink would take over…but not until after the Euros. While the situation could make for some awkward press conferences during the tournament, the Dutch will try to block out the noise.
Top Players To Watch: Danielle van de Donk is a legend on this team. The 33-year-old midfielder helped the Netherlands win the European Championship in 2017 before leading the squad to the World Cup final in 2019. She just made a move from Lyon to the London City Lionesses and while van de Donk is synonymous with Orange Leeuwinnen, this could potentially be her last major tournament … unless she can hold on for the 2027 World Cup.
Keep An Eye On: Wieke Kaptein is a 19-year-old midfielder who has worked her way into the lineup at Chelsea. Kaptein is an exciting young talent who is also coming off a successful season in which she helped her club win the domestic treble and make a run to the Champions League semifinals.
This Euro Will Be A Success If: The Netherlands have the ability make it out of this Group of Death, and they could potentially go on a deep run to the semifinals or the final.
