Xavi Hernández manages the Oranje for the first time. The former Spanish midfielder succeeds Ronald Koeman, whose mandate ended after the 2026 World Cup. The Dutch were eliminated in the round of 16 by Morocco, after a one-all draw and a penalty shootout lost three to two. The selection still relies on its captain Virgil van Dijk and striker Cody Gakpo.
Opposite, Jürgen Klopp makes his debut on the German bench, where he replaces Julian Nagelsmann. The Mannschaft had a comparable run at the World Cup, also exiting in the round of 16 on penalties, four to three against Paraguay after a one-all draw. Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz and Joshua Kimmich form the backbone of the group, which Marc-André ter Stegen returns to after fifteen months of absence due to injury.
The two nations play in Group A2 of League A, alongside Serbia and Greece. The latter two face each other on the same evening. The league phase takes place over six days, until November 17, and leads to quarter-finals scheduled for March 25 to 28, 2027. The final is set for June 13, 2027.
