Netherlands and Turkey UEFA Euros Tournament Record
The Netherlands have tasted glory in the UEFA European Championships, famously clinching the title in 1988. They beat the Soviet Union 2-0 in the final. Marco van Basten was the tournament top scorer and he netted a spectacular volley that is still today considered to be one of the greatest goals in an international final.
In the years that followed, the Dutch were always among the top contenders, but have been unsuccessful in their bid to reach a second European Championship final.
Turkey has never reached a major international final, although they had participated in five European Championships prior to Euro 2024. Turkey's best performance undoubtedly came at Euro 2008, where they kept on scoring dramatic late goals to turn matches in their favour. They were eventually defeated by Germany in the semi-finals.
Since Euro 2008, Turkey has either failed to qualify or been eliminated at the group stage.
Netherlands vs Turkey Head to Head
The Netherlands and Turkey are yet to meet at a major international tournament. However, there have been many fascinating matches between these two nations.
In recent times, they met in a qualifying group for the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Burak Yilmaz scored a hat-trick in a memorable 4-2 Turkey victory in Istanbul. However, the Oranje took revenge a few months later, with Memphis Depay netting a hat-trick of his own in an emphatic 6-1 Holland victory.
