The Netherlands will be hoping for a strong performance at Euro 2024, having failed to reach the quarterfinals since 2008.
Having not won this competition since 1988, when current head coach Ronald Koeman was a player in an all-star iconic team, the Netherlands have failed to live up to their potential in recent years.
They reached the last eight of the 2022 World Cup, which was an improvement given they did not even qualify for the previous edition in Russia.
After finishing third in the 2014 World Cup, Netherlands went stale at international events, and did not qualify for the 2016 European Championship either. In 2020 they won all three of their Euros group games, before being dumped out by the Czech Republic at the last-16 stage.
Euro 2024 presents another chance at redemption. That historic 1988 triumph came on German soil, so the Virgil van Dijk-led side will be hoping to take inspiration when the tournament returns to that country this summer.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of their next game, including how to watch it across the world, kickoff times and their player roster.

When is Netherlands’ next Euro 2024 game?
Placed in Group D alongside France, Austria and Poland, Netherlands started their Euro 2024 campaign with a 2-1 victory over Poland in Hamburg on June 16. Striker Wout Weghorst came off the bench to fire home a late winning goal.
The Oranje then battled hard for a 0-0 draw with fellow heavyweights France at Leipzig’s Red Bull Arena on June 21, with Xavi Simons seeing a goal controversially disallowed by VAR.
Next, they face Austria in their final Group D clash on June 25th, with top spot in the pool and a potentially easier path to the knockout stages up for grabs.
