The Netherlands had a strong start to Euro 2024, aiming to perform well as they haven’t reached the quarterfinals since 2008. The team led by head coach Ronald Koeman, who was part of the iconic 1988 winning team, hasn’t lived up to their potential in recent tournaments.
Despite their 2014 World Cup third-place finish, the Dutch had a rough patch, missing out on the 2016 European Championship and facing early exits in subsequent tournaments, including the Euro 2020 last-16 defeat to the Czech Republic.
This year’s Euro competition offers another shot at redemption for the Netherlands as they aim to replicate their 1988 success achieved on German soil.
