Medal record Caribbean Cup 2017 Martinique Team

The Curaçao national football team is a group of talented soccer players who represent the island of Curaçao in international matches. They are often called The Blue Wave because of their blue uniforms and the island's beautiful ocean. The team is managed by the Federashon Futbòl Kòrsou.

Curaçao became a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 2010. Before that, its football team played under different names. Both FIFA and CONCACAF recognize the current Curaçao team as the official continuation of the older teams. These included the Territory of Curaçao (from 1921 to 1958) and the Netherlands Antilles (from 1958 to 2010).

In November 2025, the team made history! They won their qualifying group and earned a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This was a huge achievement, as Curaçao became the smallest nation by both population and land area to ever qualify for the tournament. They played their first World Cup match against Germany in 2026. Curaçao also became the first non-independent national team from the Americas to reach the FIFA World Cup.

The History of Curaçao Football

The first football team representing Curaçao started playing in 1924. They were known as the Territory of Curaçao national football team. Their very first game was against their neighbor, Aruba, which they won 4-0.

In December 1954, the territory of Curaçao became part of the Netherlands Antilles. This new country included several islands like Aruba, Bonaire, Saba, Sint Eustatius, and Sint Maarten. The football team's name changed to the Netherlands Antilles national team. It represented all these islands.

Later, in 1986, Aruba became its own country. It then formed its own Aruba national team. This meant Aruban players no longer played for the Netherlands Antilles team.

On October 10, 2010, the Netherlands Antilles officially dissolved. Curaçao and Sint Maarten became separate countries. Other islands like Bonaire became part of the Netherlands. Even though Curaçao is not a fully independent country, FIFA recognized it as the official successor to the Netherlands Antilles team in March 2011. This meant Curaçao took over all the historical records and FIFA ranking of the previous team.

The newly formed Curaçao national team played its first match on August 20, 2011. They faced the Dominican Republic and lost 1-0. During the qualifiers for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Curaçao achieved a big success. They defeated Cuba based on the away goals rule.

Making a Mark in the CONCACAF Gold Cup

After a strong qualifying journey, Curaçao showed its strength in the 2017 Caribbean Cup. They beat host Martinique 2-1 in the semi-finals. Then, they faced the defending champions, Jamaica, who had won six times before. Curaçao won their first-ever Caribbean Cup by beating Jamaica 2-1. This victory qualified them for their first CONCACAF Gold Cup.

In the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Curaçao was in Group C with Jamaica, El Salvador, and Mexico. They lost all their group stage matches in that tournament.

However, in the next 2019 CONCACAF Gold Cup, Curaçao was ready for more. They were in Group C again, this time with El Salvador, Jamaica, and Honduras. On June 21, 2019, Curaçao celebrated its first Gold Cup win. Leandro Bacuna scored the only goal in a 1-0 victory over Honduras. To reach the next round, they needed another win. Juriën Gaari scored a goal in the final moments against Jamaica. This helped Curaçao finish second in their group and move on to the knockout stage. In the quarter-finals, Curaçao was eliminated after losing to the United States.

Curaçao's First FIFA World Cup Appearance

In November 2025, during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification, Curaçao drew 0-0 against Jamaica. This result secured their spot in the FIFA World Cup. It was a historic moment, as Curaçao became the smallest nation by both population and area to ever qualify for the World Cup.

Before the World Cup, on February 23, 2026, manager Dick Advocaat resigned due to personal family health reasons. Fred Rutten was then appointed as the head coach. However, on May 11, after his daughter's health improved, Advocaat returned to lead the national team. This decision was also influenced by disagreements between the players and Rutten, and pressure from the team's main sponsor. With his return, Advocaat became the oldest manager in history to coach a team at the FIFA World Cup.

Curaçao scored its first World Cup goal through Livano Comenencia in their opening match against Germany. Germany eventually won the game 7-1. In their second match, Curaçao earned their first-ever point at a World Cup. They played to a 0-0 draw with Ecuador. In that game, Eloy Room made 15 saves, almost breaking the record for most saves in a World Cup match. He was named Man of the Match, becoming the first Curaçaoan player to receive this honor in a World Cup game.
