The Netherlands national football team (Dutch: Het Nederlands Elftal) has represented the Netherlands in international men's football matches since 1905. The national team is controlled by the Royal Dutch Football Association (KNVB), the governing body for football in the Netherlands, which is a part of UEFA, and under the jurisdiction of FIFA. They are widely considered one of the best teams in world football to have never won a FIFA World Cup. Most of the Netherlands' home matches are played at the Johan Cruyff Arena and the Stadion Feijenoord.<\/P>

The team is colloquially referred to as Het Nederlands Elftal (The Dutch Eleven) or Oranje, after the House of Orange-Nassau and their distinctive orange jerseys. Like the country itself, the team is sometimes (also colloquially) referred to as Holland. The fan club is known as "Het Oranje Legioen" (The Orange Legion).<\/P>

The Netherlands has competed in ten FIFA World Cups, appearing in the finals three times (in 1974, 1978 and 2010). They have also appeared in nine UEFA European Championships, winning the 1988 tournament in West Germany. Additionally, the team won a bronze medal at the Olympic tournament in 1908, 1912 and 1920. The Netherlands has long-standing football rivalries with neighbors Belgium and Germany.<\/P>","25BD2818C5CA7DE1EF956094CD415371":"

Ronald Koeman is a former Dutch footballer and current manager of Southampton. He is the younger brother of former Feyenoord coach Erwin Koeman and the son of former Dutch international Martin Koeman. One of the best attacking central defenders of all time, Koeman was renowned for his long-range accuracy, especially in free kicks, and is the top scoring defender in world football.

At international level, Koeman was one of the stars of the Dutch national team, alongside Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard and Dennis Bergkamp. He won the Euro 88 and played at the 1990 and 1994 FIFA World Cups.

After winning the European Cup with PSV in 1988, Koeman moved to Barcelona and became part of Johan Cruyff's 'Dream Team', and helped Barcelona win La Liga four years in a row between 1991 and 1994, and the European Cup where he scored the winner against Sampdoria in 1992.<\/P>","8D5A204CDEF7148F16FFC2E9FB1EE211":"1963-3-21","9313EC01B36593E9":"108175","160343B2F56DD1006D4E7F061757C207":"54990","8AADACF35D89D013D4BD2861BB0924F0":"24","AFC96B2FF8428221":"Amsterdam","3316B2DB0B85B0BE":"Netherlands","2AC3E7C85928CE18A3090AFF171DB8C9":"2023-1-1","e_index":4};
