How many Euros have Netherlands won in their history?

The Dutch have been one of the dominant forces at major tournaments.

International football has had a long history in the Netherlands, with Johan Cruyff making them one of the renowned national teams in football and taking them to glory. The Dutch have been known for producing many top talents in their history, but have they ever won the European Championship?

Without a question, the Netherlands are contenders to win any competition they participate in, including the World Cup.

Even though the Oranje are most remembered for their devastating championship defeats, they are still a squad that puts up a strong battle in every match.

Have Netherlands ever won the European Championship?

They have only had one UEFA Euro victory in their history, but this year they want to add to that record. They have reached the Euro 2024 quarter-finals and their route to the final isn’t that challenging, if they overcome Turkey initially and progress past England or Switzerland in the semis.

Having participated in five World Cup, one UEFA Euro and one UEFA Nations League final, the Netherlands are the epitome of hard work and determination. Even though they have only won one championship, they have an amazing record of seven third-place and four second-place results.

The Federal Republic of Germany hosted UEFA Euro 1988, where Munich’s Olympiastadion staged the championship match. After beating the Soviet Union 2-0, the Netherlands were proclaimed winners for the first Championship in their history.

First half goals by Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten’s spectacular strike in the 52nd minute gave the Oranje the lead. The Soviet Union lost that match, making them the only side to have lost three UEFA European Championship finals.
