King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima to Bring One of Their Three Daughters to Netherlands - Sweden at the World Cup

King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima, and Princess Ariane are set to attend the Netherlands vs. Sweden match at Houston Stadium on Saturday, June 20th. Minister Sterk for Long-Term Care, Youth, and Sport will also be present at this fixture. Following this, the royal family will travel to Kansas City for Curaçao's clash against Ecuador. There, Willem-Alexander, Máxima, and Ariane will be joined by the Prime Minister of Curaçao, the island's Minister of Sport, and several other political figures.

The Netherlands (against Japan) and Curaçao (against Germany) will play their opening World Cup matches on June 14th, but no members of the royal family will be in attendance for those games. Around the time of the Netherlands - Japan match, Japanese Emperor Naruhito will first make an official state visit to the Netherlands, accompanied by his wife, Empress Masako. King Willem-Alexander stated that he would watch the match with the Emperor. "Just the two of us," Queen Máxima emphasized with a laugh during a press moment. "Not with the whole family."

Crown Princess Amalia will not be traveling to the United States for the World Cup. She expressed a desire to watch a match with friends at a pub in Amsterdam, she revealed a few weeks before the tournament during the same press briefing.
