Frenkie de Jong
FC BarcelonaABOUT FRENKIE DE JONG
World Cup pedigree
Frenkie de Jong was Netherlands' deep playmaker at WC2022 and started every game. He has played at three major tournaments since his debut in 2018.
Role for Netherlands
Barcelona's midfielder and Netherlands' tempo-setter. De Jong drops deep to receive from the centre-backs, beats the first line of pressure with carrying, and slips vertical passes into the front three. His role under Koeman is more advanced than at Barcelona.
WC2026 outlook
Limited goal markets but a high-influence player. His minutes total is among the highest of any Dutch outfielder, and Netherlands' deep run depends on his fitness more than any other midfielder.
Tournament starts 11 June 2026
Frenkie de Jong's WC2026 stats will appear here after the tournament opens with Mexico vs South Africa at Estadio Banorte.
Stats update after each match Jong features in.
