The Wilhelmus is the national anthem of the Netherlands and one of the oldest national anthems in the world, with its text dating to the late 16th century during the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule. It was officially adopted in 1932 and is performed at state ceremonies, remembrance events and before Dutch national teams compete. Short excerpts circulate online as soundboard clips because the opening is familiar to football and Formula One fans, and Spanish speakers often search for it as the himno de Holanda after major tournaments.
