The Curaçao national team has emerged as a notable story for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, gaining attention even before the tournament begins. A viral video circulating on social media showcases the Caribbean squad’s arrival at their training base in an old, windowless school bus.
This unconventional mode of transportation has elicited a range of jokes and reactions from fans, with many emphasizing that such moments encapsulate the unique spirit of the World Cup.
This World Cup is particularly historic for Curaçao, as the national team has qualified for the final stage of the tournament for the first time. With a population of approximately 150,000, Curaçao has also made history as the smallest nation ever to qualify for the event.
The team will compete in Group E alongside formidable opponents Germany, Ecuador, and Ivory Coast.
