The official lineups for the Group F blockbuster at the 2026 World Cup between the Netherlands and Sweden have been announced, just minutes before kick-off in Houston.

On the Swedish side, the coach has decided to trust his star attacking duo: Viktor Gyökeres and Alexander Isak are both in the starting eleven. A fearsome partnership after their emphatic win over Tunisia (5-1).

Sweden lineup: Nordfeldt – Lindelöf, Hien, Lagerbielke – Gudmundsson, Ayari, Karlström, Bernhardsson – Nygren – Isak, Gyökeres.

On the Dutch side, a surprise: Memphis Depay does not start the match. Coach Ronald Koeman fields an attacking trio of Gakpo, Malen, and Brobbey.

Netherlands lineup: Verbruggen – Dumfries, Van Dijk, Van Hecke, Van de Ven – Gravenberch, Frenkie de Jong, Reijnders – Gakpo, Malen, Brobbey.

After their draw against Japan (2-2), the Netherlands are looking to bounce back, while Sweden are aiming to build on their excellent start to the tournament.
