Rise to Fame Since 2013

Depay made his debut for the national team on October 15, 2013, at just 19 years of age, during a World Cup qualifying match against Turkey, where the team secured a 2-0 victory. He quickly established himself as an essential player, scoring his first international goal during the 2014 World Cup against Australia in a thrilling 3-2 win for the Dutch.

Current Stats and Future Aspirations

Now boasting a total of 100 caps and 47 goals, Depay continues to chase the all-time top scorer record held by Robin van Persie, who scored 50 goals for the national team. Depay is merely three goals away from this milestone and remains a critical component of the team moving forward.

Following an eight-month absence from international duty, Depay expressed his excitement about returning to the national team, reaffirming his dedication and passion for representing the Netherlands on the global stage.
