Arjan Veurink Targets First World Cup Qualification

Arjan Veurink, appointed head coach of the Netherlands women's national team, will lead the Oranje Leeuwinnen in this week’s World Cup qualifiers. The squad faces decisive matches against Ireland and Poland to secure a World Cup ticket.

Veurink previously served as assistant to Sarina Wiegman. Together they captured three consecutive European championships with the Netherlands women.

This week marks Veurink’s first opportunity as head coach to obtain World Cup qualification. A successful campaign would give him his inaugural World Cup ticket.

The outcome will shape the Oranje Leeuwinnen’s trajectory ahead of the next major tournament. Veurink aims to build on the recent European successes under his leadership.
