The likeable Dutchwoman, who sits on the jury of Das Supertalent (Germany’s version of Britain’s Got Talent) and was recently a contestant on RTL Television’s Let’s Dance, will be a regular guest on RTL Boulevard, which the Dutch RTL Group channel RTL 4 will air throughout the tournament. She and the team will analyse and report on the progress of the Dutch squad. As the wife of Rafael van der Vaart, one of the Oranje’s "Big Four", she will also discuss her experiences as a player’s wife at a World Cup.
On 24 June Sylvie, who recently signed an exclusive contract with RTL Television, will also report on the Fan Fest in Aachen from the RTL World Cup Truck, when the Netherlands take on Cameroon. "I think it will be great to send Sylvie over the border to her Dutch countrymen that day, where before, during, and after the game she can gather some atmospheric impressions on the ground in extraordinary places," said Manfred Loppe, Head Of Sports, RTL Television. "I also expect that Sylvie van der Vaart will agree to do a couple of other broadcasts for us."
RTL Television is broadcasting the Cameroon v Netherlands match exclusively live on German free-to-air TV from 20:30. RTL Boulevard airs Mondays to Fridays at 18:35 on RTL 4.
