The Netherlands team is thrilled to play in the world’s largest cricket stadium with a capacity of 1 lakh 32 thousand spectators.

Netherlands captain Scott Edwards said, “This is a big opportunity for us.”
A large number of fans reached Ahmedabad to watch the India vs Netherlands match.
New Delhi. The Netherlands team, which proudly presents its history and heritage in football to the world, is eagerly waiting for its last match. The Netherlands is no challenge for the Indian team, which is in excellent form, in the last league match of the T20 World Cup, but the Dutch team is not afraid of its powerful opponent.
The Netherlands team is thrilled to play in the world’s largest cricket stadium with a capacity of 1 lakh 32 thousand spectators. Even if the ground is half full, this number will be more than the number of spectators coming to the stadium to cheer for the Dutch football team. Netherlands captain Scott Edwards said, “This is a big opportunity for us.” This is the largest stadium in the world. Everyone is excited to play against India in the biggest stadium in India.
More supporters than FIFA reached Ahmedabad
John Van Vliet, who looks after the media and marketing of the Netherlands team, said, “It is a big thing for us to play India in the world’s largest cricket stadium. There will be more spectators present to watch tomorrow’s match than those who come to the field to support the Dutch team in the FIFA World Cup. He said that the Dutch sponsors should pay attention to this, which they have not done so far. The seats of the stadium are orange, which is also the color of the Netherlands team’s jersey.
Troubled by lack of sponsor
The story of Netherlands is the story of every associate team of 20 countries participating in this T20 World Cup. Netherlands got a sponsor three days before the first match of the tournament. That too with an Indian sponsor as was the case in the 2023 ODI World Cup. Financial services firm Globe decided on sponsorship three days before the start of the tournament. Netherlands is continuously playing in ICC tournaments but cricket remains on the margins in this football crazy country. Dutch companies have been sponsoring from time to time but they too have some Indian connection. Vliet said that we hope to perform well in the last match against India so that more sponsors come forward in future.
