HAMBURG, GERMANY - JUNE 16, 2024: Enthusiastic football fans have gathered outside the stadium in Hamburg on Sunday, June 16, and are eagerly awaiting the EURO 2024 clash between Poland and the Netherlands. Footage shows Polish and Dutch fans chanting slogans for their team outside Volksparkstadion. The Netherlands also known as 'the Oranje' suffered a shock with a last-16 exit from EURO 2020 at the hands of the Czech Republic. After failing to be part of the EURO 2016 and World Cup 2018, Frank de Boer's men will seek to restore the lost pride of the team that have achieved some remarkable victories over time, including the EURO 1988 triumph. Despite suffering from injuries, Barcelona's Frenkie De Jong and Atletico Madrid's Memphis Depay were included in the Dutch squad. In addition, Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk and Manchester City's Nathan Ake will be key players for the Dutch team. Poland will go into the European Championships as one of the dark horses. There is no doubt that Barcelona's Robert Lewandowski will be the biggest threat to opponents. The prolific striker is Poland’s most-capped star with 148 appearances and the country’s top goal scorer with 82. The 35-year-old legend will be accompanied in forward by Napoli's Piotr Zielinski and Fenerbahce's Sebastian Szymanski. (Footage by Ömer Sercan Karkuş /Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
