Gakpo Says There Will Be No Grand Celebration

Netherlands national team forward Cody Gakpo shared his thoughts ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualification match against Lithuania. Gakpo emphasized that securing a place in the tournament would be considered a success but noted that there will not be grand celebrations.

According to him, the players will celebrate modestly since they need to promptly return to their club commitments. "Perhaps we will have a brief celebration in the locker room, but there won’t be a major celebration – we all need to get back to our clubs.

The World Cup is every footballer's dream," Gakpo said. The Netherlands-Lithuania match is scheduled to kick off on November 17 at 10:45 PM Moscow time.
