A beautiful gesture: the Netherlands' best footballers at a test match in their first club's shirts

The Dutch national team members performed a great gesture by stepping out to a test match as part of the preparations for the European Championship wearing the jerseys of their first clubs. In a way that has already become traditional for Oranje players, Virgil van Dijk & Co. marked National Football Day and sent a message to the younger generations not to forget the beginnings of their careers.

This is the third year that the Dutch national team has gone to training matches in this way. They are hoping in the 'land of windmills' that this time it could bring them luck at the tournament in Germany, where they will play against France, Poland and Austria in the group stage.
