According to Dutch media NOS, the Netherlands team’s train from Wolfsburg to Dortmund was cancelled and they had to take a plane to the match venue. The pre-match press conference has been cancelled as a result.
As planned, and in line with the European Championship’s “Green Travel Plan”, the Dutch national team was scheduled to depart from Wolfsburg at 4:00 PM today after training, and travel to Dortmund by train. However, due to a train scheduling error, the route was congested and the train was cancelled, meaning they could not reach Dortmund on time. The Dutch national team staff had to make alternative travel arrangements.
According to the latest information, the entire Dutch national team will fly to Dortmund on a 8:20 PM flight. As a result, the pre-match press conference, which was scheduled to be held tonight by captain Ake and head coach Koeman, has been cancelled. It is unclear whether a press conference will be held at a later time. According to the Dutch FA, the tournament organisers are still looking for an alternative for Koeman to speak to the media.
Meanwhile, members of the England national team have already flown to Dortmund. Their flight was not delayed.
