Jong Oranje No Longer Controls Its Euro Qualification Fate After Draw with Norway
Jong Oranje failed to secure a spot in the European Championship play-offs after a 0-0 draw against Jong Norway on Friday evening at De Adelaarhorst. Coach Michael Reiziger’s team accumulated six points from six matches, leaving them one point behind Jong Israel and Jong Bosnia and Herzegovina with two games remaining. The second-place finish grants access to the play-offs for the 2027 tournament in Serbia and Albania, while the group winner qualifies directly. Despite dominating possession and creating several chances through players like Devin Haen and Gjivai Zechiel, Jong Oranje could not break down Norway’s compact defensive line. They face Slovenia away on October 2 and host Bosnia and Herzegovina four days later.
