They overtook Portugal in the UEFA standings and the Dutch celebrated with videos!

For the first time since 2001the Netherlands ends the year in 6th place in the UEFA standingsthus securing 2+1 tickets for the Champions League of the 2024/25 season.

The Dutch had long since overtaken them Portuguese but after this week’s results in the three European interclub competitions it was sealed that Benfica and Sporting Lisbonthey cannot offer enough points for their country to return to the top six.

So, the Eredivisie prepared a special video for the… ceremony of handing over the 6th place and the corresponding tickets, starring Khaled Boularuz.

A choice not by chance, as the veteran footballer had participated in the infamous battle of nuremberg.

The history of the Iberians 1-0 against the “Oranie” in the World Cup 2006where 20 cards had been issued – with Boularuz sent off with a second yellow!

In summary, next season’s Dutch league will give two direct tickets to the Champions League, one to the qualifiers, one direct to the Europa and two to the Conference qualifiers.

It is not worth noting that the Netherlands can enter the next year as well 5th place, above and beyond France – with the results of Feyenoord, Alkmaar and Nis deciding the future.
