Netherlands heading into the World Cup

Ronald Koeman's side have been drawn in a group alongside Japan, Sweden, and Tunisia at the FIFA World Cup 2026, and are widely expected to advance. Their squad features Cody Gakpo and Ryan Gravenberch — the latter poised to play in his first World Cup finals. Six of the seven selected defenders play in the Premier League, among them Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Micky van de Ven and Chelsea's Jorrel Hato, while Inter Milan's Denzel Dumfries is the only non-Premier League defender in the group. Brighton's Bart Verbruggen, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Mats Wieffer have all received call-ups. Liverpool's Jeremie Frimpong is a notable absentee from the squad.

Algeria's preparations

Algeria are making their first appearance at a World Cup since 2014, and their preparations for the tournament are well underway. Manager Vladimir Petkovic had initially drawn up a 55-man shortlist and is yet to finalise his full squad. Manchester City legend Riyad Mahrez remains a key figure in the Algeria setup. Rayan Ait-Nouri is among those bidding to secure a place at the finals after an impressive second half of the club season. Algeria face fixtures against Argentina, Jordan, and Austria in the coming weeks as part of their pre-tournament preparations.
