Malen Set for Netherlands World Cup Squad

Donyell Malen is on course to be included in the Netherlands' official squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the forward widely expected to feature in the final list when it is announced ahead of the tournament.

Malen's pace, versatility and experience at international level have kept him firmly in contention as the Dutch coaching staff shape their attacking options for the competition. His ability to operate across the front line gives the Netherlands additional flexibility in a squad expected to blend established internationals with emerging talent.

The official squad announcement will be confirmed before the tournament begins, with FIFA and national team channels set to provide the final roster. If selected, Malen would add another major international tournament to his résumé as the Netherlands prepare for their World Cup campaign.
