Netherlands meet Japan in a group stage Group F tie at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The Netherlands are three-time runners-up and one of football's most stylish nations despite never winning the trophy. Coached by Ronald Koeman and captained by Virgil van Dijk, the Oranje reached the quarter-finals in 2022. They remain serious contenders.
Japan arrive with their own ambitions. Japan are Asia's standard-bearers, having qualified for every World Cup since 1998 and stunned Germany and Spain in 2022. Coached by Hajime Moriyasu, the Samurai Blue boast a deep pool of European-based talent. They are determined to finally reach the quarter-finals.
