Emanuelson was a member of the Dutch squad playing at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2005, held in Netherlands.[182] The Dutch were eliminated in the quarter-final against Nigeria.[183]
In August 2005, Emanuelson was called up to the Netherlands U21 squad for the first time.[184] He made his the national side's U21 debut on 17 August 2005 against Belgium U21, as they won 2–1.[185] On 17 May 2006 Emanuelson scored his first Netherlands U21 goal, in a 2–2 draw against Germany U21.[186] After being dropped from the senior team squad for the FIFA World Cup, he was called up to the U21 squad once again for the 2006's UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Portugal.[187] Emanuelson went on to be a member of the Dutch squad that won the tournament and was named in the UEFA Team of the Tournament as a left back.[188] Two years later, he was called up to the U21 squad for the first time.[189] Emmanuel appeared two times, coming against Norway U21 and Switzerland U21.[190] He went on to make eight appearances and scoring once for the U21 side.
Two years later, Emanuelson was selected by Foppe de Haan to be in the squad for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.[191] He played four times at the major tournament in the 2008 Summer Olympics where the team was eliminated in the quarter-finals by eventual winners Argentina.[192] In March 2009, Emanuelson was called up to be in the Netherlands B squad.[193] He went on to make two appearances for the B team.[194]
Senior career
In September 2005, Manager Marco van Basten called up to the Netherlands team for the first time as part of the preliminary selection but did not make the cut.[195] After being called up to the senior national team two more times, he was called up once more in August 2006.[196] On 16 August 2006, Emanuelson made his debut for the Netherlands senior team in a friendly match against the Republic of Ireland, as they won 4–0.[197] He made three more appearances for the national side by the end of the year.[198]
The following year, Emanuelson helped Netherlands’ defence kept two consecutive clean sheets between 24 March 2007 and 28 March 2007 against Romania and Slovenia.[199] In a match against Albania on 12 September 2007, he set up a goal for Ruud van Nistelrooy to score the only goal of the game, winning 1–0.[200] Emanuelson then played the last 13 minutes of the game against Luxembourg on 17 November 2007, as the national side won 1–0 to qualify for the UEFA Euro 2008.[201] Despite playing for the Netherlands occasionally during the qualifiers for UEFA Euro 2008, he was not selected in the final squad that would participate in the tournament itself.[202]
Although Emanuelson hasn't been called up to the national team for two years, he hope his performance would earn him a spot in the World Cup.[203] However, he never made the cut.[204] On 28 July 2010 Emanuelson was called up to the Netherlands squad for the first time in two years.[205] He made his first appearances in two years, starting the whole game, in a 1–1 draw against Ukraine on 11 August 2010.[206] His next appearances for the national side came on 29 March 2011 against Hungary, coming on as a 64th-minute substitute, in a 3–2 win.[207]
On 24 February 2012 Emanuelson was called to the Netherlands squad.[208] His next appearance came five days later against England, coming on as a 76th-minute substitute, in a 3–2.[209] He later made two more appearances by the end of the year.[210]
