This heavyweight opener marks just the second World Cup meeting between these sides, with the Netherlands claiming a 1-0 win in their previous clash in 2010. After missing out on the 2018 World Cup, the Netherlands has reasserted itself as a legitimate contender, highlighted by a quarterfinal run in 2022 in Qatar before losing to Argentina (the eventual champion) in a heartbreaking penalty shootout. The Oranje secured its spot at the 2026 World Cup by winning UEFA Group G, securing direct qualification without the need for playoffs. The team went unbeaten, finishing with 20 points and capped off its campaign with a 4-0 win over Lithuania to seal first place. Meanwhile, Japan became the first team outside the host nations to secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup, finishing first in its group during Asian qualifying. Japan has qualified for eight straight FIFA World Cups (1998-2026), cementing its place as one of Asias most consistent national teams. While its best finish remains a Round of 16 appearance, the country's steady rise has positioned it as a dangerous side capable of finally breaking through to its first-ever quarterfinal and even more.
