The Dutch Juniors has started preparations for the European Championship later this month in Georgia and Romania with a complete selection. All 23 players selected by national coach Erwin van de Looi gathered in Zeist on Sunday. There are no players in the selection who still have obligations with their club team.
The Dutch promises leave Monday for a training camp to Austria. On Wednesday there is an exhibition match against the Olympic team of Japan at SC Wiener Neustadt.
The Dutch Juniors then leave for Georgia. On Wednesday, June 21, Young Belgium will be the first opponent in the group stage of the European Championship in Tbilisi. The meeting with Jong Portugal will follow on Saturday, June 24, and Jong Georgia will be the last opponent in the group stage on Tuesday, June 27. Those two duels are also in Georgia. The top two countries in the group qualify for the quarter-finals.
Frimpong
Van de Looi does not have access to Jeremie Frimpong at the European Championships. Bayer Leverkusen’s right back was not available because he was disappointed that national coach Ronald Koeman did not select him for the final round of the Nations League with the Dutch national team. Koeman denounced that decision.
