Dutch men's hockey team were eliminated from the World Cup after their semi-final loss to Spain in Amstelveen, leaving them to watch the final from home. The women's team, meanwhile, advanced to the championship match. Spain, led by former Netherlands manager Max Caldas, defeated the Dutch 4-3 in the final quarter of their semi-final, with striker Duco Telgenkamp's 10-minute suspension contributing to the score.
Despite Jip Janssen and Joep de Mol scoring late goals, Spain maintained their lead. The Dutch men will face Argentina for bronze in Wavre, Belgium, while the women prepare to play Argentina at the Wagener Stadium in the final on Saturday. A victory for the women would mark their fourth consecutive world title, an accomplishment not achieved by any other nation.
