Netherlands tops Group F with win over Tunisia, faces Morocco in last 32
4 min read

In the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the Netherlands secured the top spot in Group F with a comfortable victory against Tunisia. Ronald Koeman's squad advanced to the Round of 32, where they will face Morocco in Monterrey, Mexico.
Strong performance clinches Group leadership
The match featured the tournament's 12th own goal, equaling a record, alongside key goals from Brian Brobbey and Jan Paul van Hecke that ensured the Dutch victory. This result placed the Netherlands ahead of Japan in Group F standings.
Upcoming clash against Morocco
With this win, the Netherlands avoided a Round of 32 encounter with Brazil, instead set for an exciting matchup against Morocco. The game will be held in Monterrey, requiring the Dutch team to undertake a journey of over 1,000 miles from their base in the southern United States.
Logistical considerations for the Dutch squad
Since arriving in southern Texas nearly a month ago, the team has traveled through Dallas, Houston, and Kansas City using a specially converted double-decker bus— a familiar sight at recent major tournaments. The long trip to Monterrey will require careful preparation to maintain their high level of performance.
