Netherlands given early Euro 2024 advantage as UEFA sting England for semi-finals
The Netherlands have been given an early advantage ahead of their Euro 2024 semi-final showdown with England as they have reportedly been handed half the ticket allocation for the famous “yellow wall” stand at Borussia Dortmund’s Westfalenstadion.
The 25,000 capacity stand has proven to be intimidating for opposing players over the years as Dortmund fans have habitually created a yellow canvas.
And the Dutch supporters will be given the opportunity to do the same thing with their orange colours after UEFA decided not to allocate any of the tickets directly to England.

But there will be no Barmy Army tribe in the stand and Dutch supporters will be able to create a scene of bright colour and deafening sound to rally behind their team.
Dutch fans have been out in force during Euro 2024 and have made a name for themselves by bouncing through the streets of Germany while performing their ‘links rechts’, or ‘left right’ ritual.
And they will be desperate to make their voices heard after inspiring their country to quarter-final victory over Turkey on Saturday evening.

The Netherlands went behind against Turkey 10 minutes before the interval as Samet Akaydin headed in. But they drew level 20 minutes from time as Stefan de Vrij found the back of the net. And the Dutch side clinched victory when Mert Muldur turned the ball into his own net six minutes later.
The Netherlands have also defeated Romania and Poland at the tournament, but only finished third in their group following a draw against France and a defeat to Austria.
The Dutch FA have officially only been given 8,000 tickets for the semi-final, with the English FA handed the same number. But UEFA have sold a further 1,500 tickets to Netherlands supporters, with some online tickets being offered for as much as £680.
