Curacao has a chance to participate in the 2026 World Cup. |
On the morning of November 14, Curacao won 7-0 against Bermuda, thereby expanding the opportunity to compete for a ticket to the 2026 World Cup. With 11 points, coach Dick Advocaat's team leads Group B, 1 point ahead of Jamaica, who drew 1-1 with Trinidad & Tobago. In the next match, Curacao only needs a draw against Jamaica on November 19 to have a ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
Under the guidance of veteran Dutch coach Dick Advocaat, Curacao could become the smallest country in history to participate in a World Cup, with a population of only about 156,000 people.
Along with Curacao, Suriname is also on the verge of making history by participating in the 2026 World Cup. With a 4-0 victory over El Salvador on the morning of November 14, Suriname continued to maintain an unbeaten record, with 9 points and leading Group A, 3 points ahead of Panama before their match with Guatemala.

Suriname is about to have a ticket to the 2026 World Cup. |
This is the first time since 1978 that Suriname, one of the founding members of CONCACAF since 1961, has made it to the final round of World Cup qualifying. Suriname is also known as the homeland of Dutch legends such as Ruud Gullit, Frank Rijkaard and Virgil van Dijk.
The 2026 World Cup will see a host of newcomers. In Asia, Jordan and Uzbekistan have officially qualified for the World Cup for the first time in history. In Africa, Cape Verde, the island nation nicknamed “The Blue Sharks,” is also making history.
