The Dutch national team has a special international match awaiting them: in September and October, the Dutch team will play four important matches, spread across as many different stadiums. The schedule takes national coach Xavi Hernández's team to iconic locations, with kick-offs in both the Netherlands and abroad.
The kick-off of this series of international matches will take place in the familiar Johan Cruijff Arena in Amsterdam. There, the Dutch team will face Germany for the 89th time in this stadium, known as the home of Ajax. Only De Kuip in Rotterdam served more often as a backdrop for international matches for the Dutch national team (135 times). Yet historically, Amsterdam has hosted more international matches than Rotterdam, partly thanks to locations such as the Olympic Stadium and the now disappeared Nederlandsch Sportpark. Even De Meer, Ajax's old stadium, hosted the Dutch team five times.
After the confrontation with the Germans, the selection travels to Belgrade, where national coach Xavi Hernández's first away match is scheduled. The Netherlands will play against Serbia in the Rajko Mitic Stadium - also known as Belgrade's Marakana. This stadium, named after the legendary Red Star player Rajko Mitic, once held 100,000 spectators. Today the capacity is 49,167. The location has been a tribute to Mitic since his death in 2008.
The third clash for the Dutch team will take place in the Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki, the home base of PAOK Saloniki. With a capacity just under 30,000, it does not count as the largest stadium in Greece, but it does have a four-star rating from UEFA and is characterized by its oval shape. It is not only used for the match against the Netherlands, but also for other top international matches, such as Greece-Germany. The choice forThessaloniki underlines the Greek Football Association's aim to bring international football to Northern Greece.
The final match of this international period will take place in the Philips Stadium in Eindhoven. Here the Dutch team will meet Serbia again, in a stadium where the Netherlands has played 35 times before. Together with the Belgian Bosuil Stadium, the Philips Stadium is one of the most played foreign locations for the Dutch team. It underlines the importance of the PSV stadium as a permanent fixture on the list of international matches.
Four matches, four iconic locations: for the Dutch team and the fans, this international match promises to be not only sporting, but also special in terms of ambiance.
What's happening now
After the match against Germany in the Johan Cruijff Arena, the Dutch national team will travel to Belgrade for their first away match under Xavi Hernández. The clash with Serbia at the Rajko Mitic Stadium offers an opportunity to test the coach's tactics in a challenging environment.
