From the preliminary list, Koeman keyed 26 Dutch players attended the 2026 World Cup in the May 27 press conference.
The 63-year-old coach reveals how to inform the players who are removed from the final list: "I call FaceTime for them. Kees Smit and Luciano Valente are present at Zeist so I spoke directly to them on the practice field this morning. With the other twelve, I contacted through FaceTime. As for the players kept, I said nothing. They'll know good news themselves".
