Historic first World Cup appearance. The smallest nation by population ever at a World Cup (150,000). Dick Advocaat is head coach. Many players have Dutch roots in the Eredivisie and across Europe. The Kingdom showdown with Germany (and theoretically the Netherlands later) is unique. An upset is everything.
Africa Cup winners 2024 (on home soil, a fairy tale). Phenomenal growth under Faé. Pépé, Kessié and Haller provide quality and experience. Fourth World Cup appearance; reaching the knockouts for the first time is within reach in Group E.
