Participant Preview (Season Summary)
The Netherlands have announced a 26-player roster for the 2026 World Cup, with the return of Memphis Depay providing a welcome boost after a spell of injury setbacks. Coaching staff have had to rebuild the squad amid multiple absences, including the long-term ACL loss of midfielder Xavi Simons, forcing a reliance on players who are fully fit. Depay's involvement adds experience and goal threat as the team seeks to finalize a balanced line-up and sharpen its tactical cohesion before the tournament begins.
