Netherlands vs. Turkey: A Rivalry Renewed

Euro 2024 Quarterfinal Preview

High-Scoring History and Tense Rivalry

The upcoming Euro 2024 quarterfinal matchup between the Netherlands and Turkey promises to be a spectacle, with a history of high-scoring matches and intense rivalry.

The two sides have faced off twice in recent years, with each game producing a flurry of goals. In March 2021, Turkey stunned the Netherlands with a 4-2 victory, while the Dutch responded in kind with a 6-1 triumph in June 2022.

Beyond the on-field drama, the rivalry between the two nations has been fueled by off-field incidents. The last match between the sides in Istanbul was marred by fan violence, leading to UEFA sanctions. As a result, the upcoming quarterfinal in Berlin will take place in a neutral venue.
