De Jong Set for Netherlands’ 2026 World Cup Squad

Frenkie de Jong is widely expected to be included in the Netherlands’ official squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the Barcelona midfielder remaining a central figure in the national team’s plans ahead of the tournament in North America.

De Jong’s technical quality, experience and role in controlling midfield tempo have made him one of the Oranje’s most important players in recent years. Barring an unforeseen setback, his selection would give the Netherlands a proven presence as the team prepares to compete on the world stage.

The final squad list is set to be confirmed before the tournament, with FIFA expected to publish official rosters ahead of the opening matches. De Jong’s inclusion would mark another major international tournament appearance for one of Dutch football’s leading names.
