Nathan Aké Set for Netherlands 2026 World Cup Squad

Nathan Aké is on course to be included in the Netherlands' official squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the Manchester City defender widely expected to remain a key part of the national team setup when the final list is announced.

Aké has been a regular presence for the Oranje in recent international cycles, offering versatility across central defense and left back. His experience at the highest level of club football, combined with his tactical reliability, makes him one of the leading defensive options available to the Netherlands.

The Dutch squad announcement will be closely watched as the team prepares for the expanded World Cup in North America. Aké’s expected inclusion would give the Netherlands an experienced, composed defender as they aim for a deep run in the tournament.
