A hearty welcome for all media representatives It is very special; in fact, it is unique for the Netherlands national women’s team that we have this opportunity to meet in the weeks leading up to and during the Women’s FIFA World Cup. We are all immensely looking forward to ‘Canada 2015’. Our very presence at this event is huge achievement in itself and great boost to the development of the footballers, the national women’s team and the whole of women’s football in the Netherlands. Now we are fully focused on achieving our goals at this tournament; such as qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. To do this we have to finish in the top three European teams at this world tournament … Quite a challenge, as it really is a difficult task. Nevertheless, we are very ambitious. Even though this will be incredibly difficult, I can see sufficient opportunities. We have already shown how well we can play. We have great qualities as a team and enough players with specific individual qualities. Our main strength is the unity within the team and the fact that we all think the same way about how to get the best result. We want to have a high degree of ball possession, to take the initiative as much as possible and to be on the attack through tactical positioning building up from the back. In doing so, we will keep to the 1-4-3-3 system of play, which

we will perfect right up until the kick-off in Edmonton – and for as long as possible after that. Aspects like increasing the speed of play, perfecting technical skills, getting more out of opportunities, and learning to defend more ruthlessly in some situations will be what make the difference. Whatever happens, we will take huge strides at a great tournament like this World Cup. We have been given the opportunity to play against China, New Zealand and above all the host country in Montreal in a really wonderful setting with 50,000 fanatical Canadian football supporters. That’s what this is all about! I’d like to say to our girls, just keep on doing what you do best, and keep on striving to become that little bit better. They ‘just’ have to show what they are capable of, take pleasure in playing football and enjoy taking part in this great tournament. And, in turn, we, the staff and the fans of the ‘Oranje’ Lionesses, will enjoy watching them – be they young or old, in Canada or at home on TV – as will the many different media organisations, of course. I wish you all and ourselves a very pleasant, lively and successful tournament for our Dutch national team, in which we hope to see many great and memorable moments for ‘Oranje’! Roger Reijners national coach for the women’s team

Welkom alle vertegenwoordigers van de media, Het is bijzonder, voor Nederland zelfs uniek dat we elkaar deze weken treffen in aanloop naar en tijdens het FIFA WK voetbal voor vrouwen. ‘Canada 2015’: wij allemaal kijken er enorm naar uit. Onze aanwezigheid is al een wapenfeit op zich en geeft de ontwikkeling van de speelsters, het nationale team en het gehele Nederlandse vrouwenvoetbal een geweldige stimulans. Waarbij we nu volledig gefocust zijn op het waarmaken van onze doelstellingen voor dit toernooi; zoals ons kwalificeren voor de Olympische Spelen van 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. Daarvoor moeten we in deze mondiale setting bij de drie beste Europese ploegen eindigen… Een flinke uitdaging, want oprecht een loodzware opgave. Maar we zijn ook heel ambitieus. Ook al wordt het buitengewoon zwaar, ik zie voldoende kansen. We hebben recent bewezen dat we goed zijn en kunnen presteren. We hebben behoorlijk veel kwaliteit als team én voldoende speelsters met specifieke individuele kwaliteiten. Onze saamhorigheid en het feit dat we samen één gedachte hebben over hoe wij het beste kunnen spelen, is onze grote kracht. We willen veel aan de bal zijn, zoveel mogelijk het initiatief hebben en aanvallend spelen, via verzorgd positiespel van achteruit. We houden daarbij vast aan het 1:4:3:3-systeem, dat we tot aan de aftrap in Edmonton – en zo lang mogelijk daarna – willen perfectioneren. Aspecten als het verhogen van de handelingssnelheid, verfijnen van de technische vaardigheden, meer rendement halen uit kansen en in sommige situaties nog meedogenlozer leren verdedigen, maken daarbij het verschil. Hoe dan ook zullen we, op een geweldig toernooi als dit WK, ook hierin weer flinke stappen maken. China, Nieuw-Zeeland en bovendien tegen het gastland, in Montreal in het bijzijn van vijftigduizend fanatieke Canadezen; we mogen aan de bak, in een werkelijk fantastische entourage. Hier gaat het allemaal om! Waarbij ik de meiden meegeef dat zij vooral dát moeten blijven doen waarin ze goed zijn, ook in hun continue streven telkens nóg een beetje beter te worden. Ze moeten ‘gewoon’ laten zien waartoe ze in staat zijn, met plezier hun voetbal spelen en genieten van hun aanwezigheid op dit grootse podium. Daar genieten op onze beurt wíj weer van; de staf, alle fans van de Leeuwinnen – in Canada en thuis voor de buis, van jong tot oud – en vanzelfsprekend ook de vele media. Ik wens ons en jullie allen een heel aangenaam, levendig en voor Oranje succesvol toernooi, waarin in het bijzonder ‘voor ons eigen Nederland’ veel mooie en memorabele momenten te registreren zijn! Roger Reijners bondscoach Nederlands vrouwenelftal

oranjeleeuwinnen & historie / 'oranje' lion WAT ZIJN DE HOOGTEPUNTEN VAN HET NEDERLANDS NATIONALE VROUWENTEAM? EEN OVERZICHT IN EEN NOTENDOP.

A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE NETHERLANDS NATIONAL WOMEN’S TEAM.

Wapenfeiten Het Nederlands vrouwenelftal neemt sinds 1982 deel aan kwalificatiewedstrijden voor de Europese en mondiale eindronden. In 2009 bereikte de equipe van destijds bondscoach Vera Pauw het EK, waarin Nederland indruk maakte door als debutant door te dringen tot de halve finale. Na een zege op Oekraïne (2-0), verlies tegen gastland Finland (2-1) en winst tegen Denemarken (2-1), zegevierde Nederland in de kwartfinale tegen Frankrijk via een 0-0 gelijkspel en strafschoppen (5-4). De eindronde die uiteindelijk Duitsland zou winnen, eindigde voor Nederland in de halve eindstrijd tegen Engeland, na 2-1 verlies pas vlak voor het einde van de verlenging.

Achievements The Netherlands national women’s team has been taking part in the qualification matches for the final rounds of the European Championships and the World Cup since 1982. In 2009, the team of the then coach Vera Pauw made it to the European Championships, where the Netherlands made an impression by reaching the semi-finals as debutant. After beating Ukraine (2-0), losing to host Finland (2-1) and beating Denmark (2-1), the Netherlands won against France in the quarter final with a 0-0 draw and penalties (5-4). The final round which was finally won by Germany, ended for the Netherlands in the semi-final against England, which scored 2-1 right at the end of extra time.

Ook huidig bondscoach Roger Reijners wist met de OranjeLeeuwinnen een plek te bemachtigen op het Europese podium. In 2013 in Zweden bleef het bij de groepsfase (Duitsland - Nederland 0-0, Noorwegen - Nederland 1-0 en Nederland - IJsland 0-1).

The current national women’s coach Roger Reijners also managed to win a place on the European stage with the ‘Oranje’ Lionesses. In 2013, the team made it into the group phase in Sweden (Germany - Netherlands 0-0, Norway Netherlands 1-0 and Netherlands - Iceland 0-1).

Eind 2014 plaatste de formatie van Reijners zich voor het WK: een unicum voor de Nederlandse vrouwen. Hoe? Zie pagina 18 en verder.

At the end of 2014, Reijners’ team qualified for the World Cup: the first time ever for the Dutch women’s team. How? See page 18 onwards for more information.

Head to heads against upcoming opponents Group A ‘Oranje’ Lionesses against… … Canada: 10 played, 8 losses, 2 draws. … China: 10 played, 1 win, 4 draws, 5 losses. … New Zealand: 4 played, 2 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss.

phenomenal growth of girls'’and women's “LET’S CELEBRATE A NEW GENERATION OF FOOTBALL LOVERS!”

“LET’S CELEBRATE A NEW GENERATION OF FOOTBALL LOVERS!”

De Koninklijke Nederlandse Voetbalbond stáát voor ‘voetbal om van te houden’. Onze meisjes en vrouwen hebben hierin een prachtige voorbeeldfunctie: de verwelkoming van een nieuwe generatie meisjes- en vrouwenvoetballers, die onze sport groter, rijker, veelzijdiger en spannender maakt. Een generatie die inspireert, verbindt en een nieuwe impuls geeft aan de traditionele voetbalwereld.

The Royal Netherlands Football Association stands for ‘football to be loved’. This is where our girls and women play a splendid exemplary role: welcoming the next generation of girls and women into football, which makes our sport greater, richer, more diverse and more exciting. A generation which inspires, connects and boosts the traditional world of football.

Het meisjes- en vrouwenvoetbal in Nederland heeft zich in de laatste jaren stormachtig ontwikkeld, een trend die doorzet. Het biedt perspectief om in 2017 – ten tijde van het EK in Nederland – 145.000 vrouwelijke leden in onze gelederen te hebben, en 150.000 in 2018.

Girls’ and women’s football has seen huge developments in the Netherlands in recent years, a trend which is set to continue. This gives us the opportunity to raise the number of women members in the sport to 145,000 by 2017 – when we will have the pleasure of holding the UEFA Women’s EURO 2017 – and increasing that number to 150,000 by 2018.

GIRLS’ AND WOMEN’S FOOTBALL IN THE NETHERLANDS 137,525 female members: + 4.23% on the previous season.

Phenomenal growth in the last decade: + 81% on the 2003/04 season.

More than 2,000 clubs with girls’ or women’s teams in the competition.

5,250 women’s and girls’ teams on the pitch: + 5.49% on the previous season.

In the Netherlands, girls can play in girls’ or mixed teams up until the age of eighteen.

NEDERLAND GASTLAND EURO 2017 Nederland heeft het genoegen het EK 2017 te organiseren, met Breda, Deventer, Doetinchem, Enschede, Rotterdam (Het Kasteel), Tilburg en Utrecht als speelsteden. Secretaris-generaal Bert van Oostveen (KNVB): “Het is fantastisch dat we na EURO 2020 ook EURO 2017 naar Nederland hebben gehaald.

Het is een enorme stimulans voor de ontwikkeling en erkenning van het Nederlandse vrouwenvoetbal, in de top én in de breedte.”

NETHERLANDS TO HOST UEFA WOMEN’S EURO 2017 The Netherlands is organising the Women’s EURO 2017 with Breda, Deventer, Doetinchem, Enschede, Rotterdam (‘Het Kasteel’), Tilburg and Utrecht as host cities.

regulations What happens if two or more teams finish level on points and what are the regulations regarding red and yellow cards?

RANKING THE TEAMS

RANKING BEST THIRD PLACES

In the group stage, the last matches in each group shall be played simultaneously.

The two teams finishing first and second in each group and the four best teams among those ranked third qualify for the round of 16.

The ranking of each team in each group will be determined as follows: a) greatest number of points obtained in all group matches; b) goal difference in all group matches; c) greatest number of goals scored in all group matches. If two or more teams are equal on the basis of the above three criteria, their rankings will be determined as follows: d) greatest number of points obtained in the group matches between the teams concerned; e) goal difference resulting from the group matches between the teams concerned; f) greater number of goals scored in all group matches between the teams concerned; g) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

SECOND STAGE If a match is level at the end of normal playing time, extra time shall be played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by kicks from the penalty mark to determine the winner.

The four best teams among those ranked third will be determined as follows: a) greater number of points obtained in all group matches; b) goal difference resulting from all group matches; c) greater number of goals scored in all group matches; d) drawing of lots by the FIFA Organising Committee.

AWARDS The FIFA Fair Play Award, consists of a fair play medal for each player and official, a diploma and a voucher for USD 10,000 worth of football equipment (to be used for women’s youth football development). The Golden Boot will be awarded to the player who scores in Canada the most goals. If two or more players score the same number of goals, the number of assists will be decisive. Also the Adidas Golden Ball (best player), the Adidas Golden Glove (best goalkeeper) and the Hyundai Young Player (best young player in the tournament) will be awarded at this 2015 tournament.
