The Netherlands are aiming to clinch their spot in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals next March. They take on Greece in Amsterdam in their penultimate League A encounter on November 13 and you could be there by booking match tickets today.
Having been runners-up during the inaugural edition of the UEFA Nations League in 2019 and reached the semi-finals in 2023, the Dutch, who are now being led by Xavi, will be desperate to be in the mix for honours once again. Greece will still be brimming with confidence following their recent 1-0 victory over Germany in Augsburg, so the home side can't afford to take their opponents too likely though.
When we last saw the Netherlands in action at the Johan Cruyff Arena, Cody Gakpo grabbed a late equaliser against Germany to share the spoils in their UEFA Nations League opener. It took their unbeaten run at the Amsterdam venue to eight games.

Everything you need to know about the Johan Cruyff Arena
The Johan Cruyff Arena is the crown jewel of Dutch sports infrastructure. Located in the Zuidoost district of Amsterdam, it serves as the spectacular home of AFC Ajax and the Netherlands National Team and holds a capacity of 56,120 (71,000 for music concerts).
Renowned worldwide as a pioneer in modern stadium design, it effortlessly bridges the gap between historic football traditions and cutting-edge stadium innovation.
The stadium officially opened in 1996 under its original name, the Amsterdam ArenA. It was built to replace Ajax’s beloved but outdated stadium, De Meer, which could no longer keep up with the club's massive fan base. In 2018, the stadium was officially renamed the Johan Cruyff Arena. This paid eternal tribute to the legendary Ajax No. 14 who popularised the iconic 'Total Football' philosophy and passed away in 2016.
Memorable moments at Johan Cruyff Arena
- Pop Royalty: Tina Turner was the very first pop star to perform there in 1996, followed closely by Michael Jackson, who sold out five historic concerts during his HIStory World Tour in 1997.
- Real Madrid vs. Juventus (1998 Champions League Final): The stadium hosted Europe's biggest club match. A solitary goal from Predrag Mijatović secured a 1-0 win for Real Madrid, ending their 32-year drought for a European Cup.
- Chelsea vs Benfica (2013 UEFA Europa League Final): A thrilling finale where Fernando Torres scored for Chelsea, only for Benfica to equalise. In the 93rd minute, Branislav Ivanović rose to power home a dramatic stoppage-time header, making Chelsea the Europa League champions.
Europe's Pioneer Roof: It was the first stadium in Europe to feature a fully retractable roof. At the time, building a massive sliding canopy over an elite stadium was deemed a massive architectural gamble that later became a global industry standard.
