According to CCTV5 program list (January 18, 2024), the opening of the European Cup is approaching, and 24 teams are ready to compete for the highest honor on the mainland. Among them, the Netherlands is a team with a glorious history and tradition. They have returned to the competition after many years. Whether they can reproduce the 88 year glory has become the focus of fans and the media.

The Netherlands team is a frequent visitor to the European Cup. They have participated in 10 European Cups. In 1988, they defeated the Soviet Union 2-0 at the home of Germany and won their only European Cup champion, which is also their only international championship. The Dutch team has Gullit, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Van Bruken and many other superstars. They have played amazing football and are known as the "Orange Storm".

However, since winning the championship, the Netherlands team has never had a prominent performance in the European Cup. Their best results were in 1992 and 2000. They entered the semi-finals respectively, but were eliminated. In the last two European Cups, the Netherlands team suffered even more painful failures. They lost all three matches in the group match in 2012 and were out of the bottom. In 2016, they did not even get the qualification to participate in the tournament and missed the event.

Now, under the leadership of the new head coach Frank De Boer, the Netherlands team has regained some confidence and state. In the European Cup qualifiers, they ranked first in Group C with a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, and successfully advanced to the competition. In their lineup, there are some powerful players such as Van Dijk, De Liecht, Frenaldum and Depe. They have a good balance of attack and defense, and also have rich experience and passion. They hope to show the charm and charm of Dutch football on the stage of the European Cup.

The Netherlands team was divided into Group F in the group match of the European Cup. Their opponents are Ukraine, Austria and Northern Macedonia. This is a relatively weak group. The Netherlands team has the advantage of qualifying, but they can't take it lightly. They need to remain focused and stable in order to successfully qualify for the knockout stage. If the Dutch team can break through the group match, they may meet strong teams such as England, Germany and France in the knockout match. This will be their real test. Whether they can reproduce the glory of 88 years remains to be seen.

The following is the historical achievements of the Netherlands in the European Cup, which shows their ups and downs and changes.
