The Netherlands have announced a 29-player roster for the 2025 women’s volleyball season, blending Olympic veterans with fresh faces. Coach Felix Koslowski retains 11 of the 13 athletes from the Paris 2024 squad, including captain Nika Daalderop and setter Britt Bongaerts.
Veterans Anne Buijs (retired) and Jüliet Lohuis (taking a year off) won’t return, while Fleur Savelkoel is sidelined due to injury. The focus this year? Giving young talents a shot and preparing for the 2028 Olympics.
The Dutch open their season at the Volleyball Nations League in June, followed by the World Championship in Pool A with Thailand, Sweden, and Egypt.
