The team also won three bronze medals at the Olympics and came second at the inaugural UEFA Nations League. The Dutch national team reached first place in the FIFA world rankings in August 2011, for the first time since its introduction in 1992. The low point was reached in August 2017, when the Netherlands was 36th.
