Unfortunately,  has decided not to play this year,  withdrew due to circumstances regarding visa process and the excessive costs and  withdrew due to coronavirus.

Aw, no Somalia this time  

 

Do we, Netherlands, have a chance? I mean, for anything? A goal maybe?

It's hard to predict but I think there are chances to be in top-3 in Group B after Germany and Hungary. Slovakia looks like the main rival in the fight for the third place.

For women if there are no Norway team (at least its participation wasn't announced)  - 4th place. But who knows maybe the Netherlands can try to beat the USA and took the sensational bronze medals .
