Head Coach - Sarina Wiegman-Glotzbach
Player to watch - Lieke Martens
The Netherlands surprised everyone around the world when they defied all expectations to triumph in the 2017 European Championships.
They had been participating in only their third ever European Championship, which brought about an element of surprise, but showed great resilience and ingenuity to knock out Sweden and England en route their shock triumph.
The side impressively won all six matches in the tournament, leading head coach Sarina Wiegman to be named the 2017's Best Women's Coach, while Lieke Martens walked away with the Best Women's Player crown.
The 26-year-old has grown from strength to strength since then and would be hoping to go one better than the Silver medal she achieved with Barcelona in the 2019 Women's Champions League.
Having firmly established themselves in the upper echelons of the women's game, opponents would now be taking the Dutch more seriously, but they have shown to be more than capable of dealing with the increased attention.
