2026 World Cup - Curaçao- National-Team - Squad

Curaçao  Group E  Squad

At the age of 78, Dutchman Advocaat is set to become the oldest coach in the tournament's history, beating Otto Rehhagel's record when he was in charge of Greece aged 71 in 2010.

Curaçao, the smallest nation to ever qualify for the World Cup, has named its 26-man squad for this summer's tournament. The tiny Caribbean island has a population of just over 150,000 and a land area of 171 square miles. 

Curaçao begin their Group E campaign against four-time winners Germany on 14 June, before taking on Ecuador on 21 June and the Ivory Coast four days later.
