🇨🇼 Curaçao

Curaçao are one of the smallest nations ever to reach the World Cup. A CONCACAF side, they enter the 2026 World Cup rated 1560 — 48th of the 48 teams — in Group E.

A tiny Caribbean island whose qualification is a landmark of the 48-team era. Organised and tight-knit, drawing on a diaspora of talented players.

Drawn alongside Germany, Ecuador and Ivory Coast, their toughest group test on paper is the meeting with Germany. Our model projects them to finish 4th in the group and to fall short of the knockout rounds.
