Netherlands captain: Sherida Spitse

The veteran 33-year-old midfielder is the second most-capped European and suffered the disappointment of losing to the United States in the final in 2019 having tasted Women's EURO glory two years earlier. This was Spitse's third World Cup.

Netherlands' World Cup history 

Best performance: Runners-up (2019)
2019 World Cup: Runners-up

As reigning European champions, the Netherlands went all the way to the 2019 final before that 2-0 loss to the United States. They hoped the absence of injured Vivianne Miedema would not harm their hopes of going one better this time.
