Curaçao make history as the smallest nation ever to compete at a World Cup (population ~155,000), surpassing Iceland's record from 2018. Under 78-year-old coach Dick Advocaat — set to be the oldest manager in World Cup history — the team is a disciplined, defensively organised unit. They face Germany, Ecuador, and Ivory Coast in Group E, making advancing extremely difficult.

Path to qualification

Qualified by winning CONCACAF Third Round Group B, clinching the spot with a 0-0 draw against Jamaica on the final matchday.
