Jorrel Hato Set for Netherlands World Cup Squad

Jorrel Hato is on course to be included in the Netherlands' official squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the Ajax defender widely expected to feature among the players selected for the tournament in North America.

The young defender has emerged as one of Dutch football’s most prominent rising talents, offering versatility across the back line and composure beyond his years. His development at club level and growing role in the national-team setup have strengthened his case for a place in the final squad.

The Netherlands are expected to confirm their official World Cup roster ahead of FIFA’s squad deadline, with Hato positioned to be part of the group as the team prepares for its campaign in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
