The Netherlands national football team has represented the Netherlands in international men's football matches since 1905. The men's national team is controlled by the Royal Dutch Football Association, the governing body for football in the Netherlands, which is a part of UEFA, under the jurisdiction of FIFA. Most of the Netherlands home matches are played at the Johan Cruyff Arena, De Kuip, Philips Stadion and De Grolsch Veste.
The team is colloquially referred to as Het Nederlands Elftal or Oranje, after the House of Orange-Nassau and their distinctive orange jerseys. Informally the team, like the country itself, is referred to as Holland. Additionally, their fan club is known as Het Oranje Legioen.
The Netherlands has competed in eleven FIFA World Cups, appearing in the final three times. Much to their dismay, they have finished as the runners-up on all three occasions. They have also appeared in eleven UEFA European Championships, winning the 1988 tournament in West Germany. Additionally, the team has won bronze medals at three Olympic football tournaments, in 1908, 1912 and 1920. The Netherlands has long-standing football rivalries with neighbours Belgium and Germany.
