Having beaten Turkey in their first UEFA EURO 2016 Group A home game, Iceland will look to pull off another coup as top seeds the Netherlands head north. Match background • Iceland's record in ten previous meetings with the Netherlands – all FIFA World Cup or UEFA European Championship qualifiers – is pretty miserable: D1 L9. That lone draw was a 1-1 in Reykjavik on 1 September 1982. • Atli Edvaldsson – father of current Icelandic women's international Sif Atladóttir – put Iceland ahead after 49 minutes of that match, but Dirk Schoenaker replied within two minutes. As yet, those two minutes were the only ones in 900 of competitive football when Iceland have led the Netherlands. • Lars Lagerbäck's side can take some encouragement from the fact their most recent encounters have been relatively close: Iceland lost 2-0 away and 2-1 at home to the Oranje in 2010 World Cup qualifying. • Iceland midfielder Kári Árnason turns 33 on the day of the Netherlands fixture. • Iceland boss Lagerbäck met the Netherlands three times (D2 L1) during his spell as co-coach of Sweden – along with Tommy Söderberg. Most notably, Sweden lost out to the Dutch on penalties following a 0-0 draw in the quarter- finals of UEFA EURO 2004. • Netherlands coach Guus Hiddink has got the better of Lagerbäck in the past, his Russia team overcoming Sweden 2-0 in the group stage of UEFA EURO 2008.

6 Iceland - Netherlands Monday 13 October 2014 - 20.45CET (18.45 local time) Match press kit Laugardalsvöllur, Reykjavik Head coach Lars Lagerbäck/Heimir Hallgrímsson Lagerbäck Date of birth: 16 July 1948 Nationality: Swedish Playing career: Alby FF, Gimonäs CK Coaching career: Kilafors IF, Arbrå BK, Hudiksvalls ABK, Sweden (youth sides), Sweden, Nigeria, Iceland • A lower-league player, Lagerbäck began his coaching career in 1977 with Kilafors, joining the Swedish Football Association (SvFF) as a youth coach after spells with two other modest club sides Arbrå and Hudiksvall. • Coached the national Under-21 and B teams until Tommy Söderberg took him on as his assistant with the senior national squad in 1998. • Söderberg and Lagerbäck managed Sweden in tandem from 2000, reaching UEFA EURO 2000, the 2002 FIFA World Cup and the quarter-finals of UEFA EURO 2004; following Söderberg's departure, Lagerbäck took the troops to the 2006 World Cup and UEFA EURO 2008 single-handed. • Stepped down after failing to lead Sweden to the 2010 World Cup finals, but ended up travelling to that tournament as coach of Nigeria. • Appointed Iceland boss in October 2011, he steered the side to the 2014 World Cup play-offs where they lost to Croatia. Agreed a new contract that will see him hand over the reins to assistant Heimir Hallgrímsson at the end of the UEFA EURO 2016 campaign. Hallgrímsson Date of birth: 10 June 1967 Nationality: Icelandic • Formerly Lagerbäck's assistant, Hallgrímsson was promoted to the joint coaching role following the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. Hallgrímsson, who coached ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar between 2006 and 2011, will take sole charge after Iceland's UEFA EURO 2016 campaign. Guus Hiddink Date of birth: 8 November 1946 Nationality: Dutch Playing career: SC Varsseveld, De Graafschap (three times), PSV Eindhoven, Washington Diplomats, San Jose Earthquakes, NEC Nijmegen Coaching career: De Graafschap, PSV Eindhoven (assistant), PSV Eindhoven (twice), Fenerbahçe SK, Valencia CF, Netherlands (twice), Real Madrid CF, Real Betis Balompié, Korea Republic, Australia, Russia, Chelsea FC, Turkey, FC Anji Makhachkala • Hiddink ended his playing days and began his coaching career at De Graafschap in 1982. Rose to prominence in 1987/88 when, in his first full season in charge, he guided PSV Eindhoven to the Eredivisie, Dutch Cup and European Champion Clubs' Cup. • Remained for two more years before moving abroad to coach Fenerbahçe and then Valencia, where he remained until taking the Dutch national team job in 1995. Stayed on despite disappointing EURO '96 and oversaw run to 1998 FIFA World Cup semi-finals. • Joined new European champions Real Madrid after that tournament but departed soon afterwards. Resurfaced at Real Betis a year later, yet it was his next appointment, as Korea Republic coach, which reaffirmed his reputation as he unexpectedly led the 2002 World Cup co-hosts to the semi-finals. • Returned for a second spell at PSV, where he won three more Eredivisie titles over the next four years, taking his total at the club to a record six. Also pushed AC Milan all the way in 2005 UEFA Champions League semi-final. • Returned to World Cup duty in 2006, steering Australia through to the last 16. Subsequently became the first foreign coach of Russia, whom he led to UEFA EURO 2008 semi-finals but not to the 2010 World Cup after a shock play-off defeat by Slovenia. Enjoyed a successful interim spell as caretaker coach of Chelsea in spring 2009, climaxing with victory in the FA Cup, and signed on with Turkey in February 2010. • Lost to Croatia in the UEFA EURO 2012 play-offs, then took an 18-month role as boss of Anzhi Makhachkala FC, leading the team to the 2012/13 UEFA Europa League round of 16. In March 2014 it was confirmed that he would succeed Louis van Gaal as Netherlands coach following the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

Records of inactive countries A number of UEFA associations have been affected by dissolution or splits of member associations. For statistical purposes, the records of these inactive countries have been allocated elsewhere: therefore, all Soviet Union matches are awarded to Russia; all West Germany – but not East Germany – matches are awarded to Germany; all Yugoslavia and Serbia & Montenegro matches are awarded to Serbia; all Czechoslovakia matches are allocated to both the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Abandoned/forfeited matches For statisical purposes, when a match has been started and then abandoned but later forfeited, the result on the pitch at the time of abandonment is counted. Matches that never started and were either cancelled or forfeited are not included in the overall statistics.
