Initially, Reijners opted for a temporary 31-team member selection. Ellen Jansen, Tessel Middag, Kelly Zeeman, and Marije Brummel were the players eliminated from the list while goalkeeper Laura Du Ry exited due to a shoulder injury.

At the moment, Reijners is paying attention on the development of his team. He said the squad is on the right track; however, they need to get better to reach the top of the European match. He said they need to improve on everything and they are working on it.  He also said both the Dutch and international women’s football have grown a lot.
