Curaçao is a small island nation in the Caribbean and an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. With a population of just 150,000, this triumph stands as the greatest footballing achievement in the country's history.
Curaçao went unbeaten in a group featuring Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Bermuda, amassing 12 points—enough to finish atop the table.
The streets of Curaçao are already alive with celebration as fans mark the team’s historic qualification for the Mundial. After the final whistle against Jamaica, the players themselves rejoiced like children, knowing they had made history.
Reminder: Official: Spain qualifies for the 2026 World Cup!
