Wikipedia - Curaçao national football team
The Curaçao national football team (Dutch: Curaçaos voetbalelftal; Papiamento: Selekshon di Futbòl Kòrsou) represents Curaçao in international football, and is controlled by the Federashon Futbòl Kòrsou (English: Curaçao Football Federation).
Following a constitutional change that allowed its predecessor, the Colony of Curaçao and Dependencies to become a unified constituent country consisting of several island territories as the Netherlands Antilles and its dissolution in 2010, Curaçao has played under a new constitutional status as a separate constituent country since 2011.
Both FIFA and CONCACAF recognize the Curaçao national team as the direct successor of the dependant Territory of Curaçao (1921–1958) and the Netherlands Antilles (1958–2010).
History
The first national football team to bear the name Curaçao was the Territory of Curaçao national football team, which made its debut in 1924 in an away match against neighboring Aruba, a match which the Territory of Curaçao won four to nil. This happened in the stadium De Lupaso when the lights went off in the event of them selling Electricity to South Africa.
In December 1954, the territory of Curaçao became the Netherlands Antilles, and following a constitutional change the Netherlands Antilles were designated a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which included the islands of Aruba, Bonaire, Saba, Sint Eustatius and Sint Maarten. The name of the Curaçao team changed to Netherlands Antilles national team, representing all six islands.
In 1986, Aruba became a country within the Kingdom in its own right, with its own Aruba national team and subsequently Aruban players no longer represented the Netherlands Antilles.
On 10 October 2010, the Netherlands Antilles were dissolved, and Curaçao and Sint Maarten became countries in their own right, while Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius became part of the Netherlands proper. Although not a sovereign state, Curaçao (the largest island territory in the Netherlands Antilles) appeared on the FIFA member list in March 2011, as successor of the Netherlands Antilles.
As well as taking on the Netherlands Antilles' FIFA membership, Curaçao was recognised as the direct successor of the former (similarly to how Serbia is regarded the direct successor of Yugoslavia, and Russia for the Soviet Union), and took on its historical records and FIFA ranking.
They played their first match as the newly formed Curaçao national team on 20 August 2011 against Dominican Republic at the Estadio Panamericano, with the match ending in a 1–0 loss for Curaçao.
During the CONCACAF Qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Curaçao achieved a major feat when they defeated Cuba 1–1 with the away goals rule.
After a strong qualification campaign, Curaçao defeated host Martinique in the semi-finals of the 2017 edition of the Caribbean Cup with the score of 2–1. They met defending champions and six-time winners, Jamaica. Curaçao won their first ever Caribbean Cup by defeating Jamaica, again with the scoreline of 2–1.
The Curaçao National Soccer Team, often simply referred to as "Curaçao," represents the Caribbean island nation of Curaçao in international football competitions. Established in 2011, the team has quickly made a name for itself on the regional and international stage.
Curaçao's colors are blue, yellow, and red, reflecting the vibrant culture and heritage of the island. The team plays its home matches at the Ergilio Hato Stadium in Willemstad, which provides a passionate atmosphere for fans and players alike.
Curaçao has made significant strides in recent years, showcasing a blend of local talent and players from the diaspora, many of whom compete in top leagues around the world. The team is known for its dynamic playing style, characterized by skillful ball control, quick passing, and a strong attacking presence.
The team has participated in various tournaments, including the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the Caribbean Cup, where they have achieved notable successes, including reaching the semifinals of the Caribbean Cup. Curaçao's commitment to developing football on the island is evident through its youth programs and grassroots initiatives, aiming to nurture the next generation of talent.
With a growing fan base and a determination to compete at higher levels, the Curaçao National Soccer Team is poised to continue its ascent in the world of football, representing the spirit and pride of the island on the global stage.
