Before the Netherlands' World Cup opener against Japan on June 14, Van Hecke expressed his focus on the upcoming match. When asked about his situation, he stated that he wants to focus on the World Cup game first and not think about his future at the moment.

However, Van Hecke has mentioned that he wants to have clarity about his future before the World Cup. He has already gained this clarity, but he prefers to discuss it after the tournament. His main priority now is to perform well in the World Cup.

It is likely that Van Hecke's future will become clearer after the World Cup, when he makes a decision about his next step.
