Curaçao, the smallest nation to qualify for the World Cup

Curaçao will be the smallest nation to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, a dream come true on a night that will forever remain in history. The tiny Caribbean island celebrated the incredible achievement after a 0-0 draw against Jamaica, a point enough to send them to North America next summer with a one-way ticket that seemed impossible to secure. It is a feat orchestrated by Dick Advocaat, who at the age of 78 has had the pleasure of leading his group of players to the most beautiful competition of all, which until now had been nothing more than a mere illusion.

Curaçao qualifies for the World Cup

The Caribbean island has only 156,115 inhabitants and everyone took to the streets yesterday to celebrate the historic result. Curaçao qualified for the World Cup for the first time in its history and will have the opportunity to face the big ones and dream of being the Glass Shoe of the competition: the fact that it is there in the group stage is already a giant step forward and will appear at the start as the smallest nation of all, surpassing even Iceland, which had set the record a few years ago. Behind this great achievement is the hand of Dick Advocaat, who at the age of 78 enriched his career with a qualification that seemed impossible to achieve.

No player in the squad was born on the island.

But they are all Dutch, as the nation is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and allows citizens to have two passports and therefore the possibility of choice in the sporting field. Many of them decided to represent the small Caribbean team without any expectations, but found themselves writing the history of an entire country and will have to face thousands of emotions of the World Cup being played just a few steps away from home.
