Team NL[3] is the sports team project with the goal of closer association of athletes and fans. It was created joined forces 29 sports associations and NOC*NSF that represents the Dutch athletes 365 days a year at an international top level at European Championships, World Championships and Olympic and Paralympic Games.
In 2024, the Committee nominated beach volleyball player Steven van de Velde for its 2024 Olympic team, disregarding the fact that he is a convicted child rapist and has been placed on the sex offender registry in the United Kingdom for life since 2016.[4] The Committee stood by their nomination despite his criminal record for sex crimes and even after the outcry from the British and American public, asserting that van de Velde has "served his sentence".[5]
