The Dutch football association (KNVB) confirmed on Tuesday that the 24-year-old centre-back had been added to the squad, with the player expected to join the team in Zeist later that evening.
Van den Berg replaces captain Virgil van Dijk, who withdrew after being deemed unfit for the upcoming fixtures. Sunderland striker Brian Brobbey also pulled out of the squad following the weekend's club matches.
The call-up represents a significant milestone for Van den Berg, who previously represented the Netherlands at under-21 level, making eight appearances between 2021 and 2023.
He began his professional career at PEC Zwolle before joining Liverpool in 2019. After loan spells at Preston North End, Schalke 04 and Mainz, he moved to Brentford in 2024, where he has established himself as a centre-back.
The Netherlands will host Greece in Amsterdam on Friday, November 13, before travelling to Berlin to face Germany on Monday, November 16. The Dutch currently lead Group A2 with eight points from four matches. A victory over Greece would secure their qualification for the Nations League quarter-finals.
Van den Berg will now have an opportunity to make his senior international debut as the Netherlands seek to strengthen their position in the competition.
