Is the Iraqi 'Cameron of Orange' the biggest Orange fan in Australia?

Cameron van Oranje

When the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off, Kamiran Yousif could be cheering for Iraq or Australia’s Socceroos. But that’s not his style. Known to friends as “Cameron van Oranje,” Kamiran lives and breathes Dutch football. He might even be the biggest Netherlands supporter in Australia. His devotion to "Oranje" goes far beyond match days. For the upcoming World Cup, his Sydney home is a sea of orange, inside and out, and his passion has even inspired the names of his three sons: Cruyff, Kluivert, and Basten, named after legendary Dutch football icons. We visited this one-of-a-kind superfan, to discover what caused his love for the Netherlands.
