Netherlands meet Sweden in a group stage Group F tie at NRG Stadium in Houston. 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.
Sweden arrive with their own ambitions. Sweden return to the World Cup after missing 2022, powered by one of Europe's most feared strike partnerships. The Blågult reached the final as hosts in 1958 and the quarter-finals as recently as 2018. A strong attacking core makes them dangerous.
