HOUSTON & KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, the 2025 FIFA World Cup has delivered a unique, double-sided cheering opportunity that few other royal spectators can claim. On a packed Saturday of match action, the royal couple pulled off a cross-country U.S. sprint to support two separate teams under the Dutch kingdom’s banner, swapping team gear and stadiums in a single day of global football.
