Friendly International
On June 7, 2026, a friendly match between the national teams of Curaçao and Aruba will take place. The hosts are using this sparring match with their modest neighbor to prepare for the World Cup.
Curaçao vs Aruba: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Curaçao national team has made history: for the first time, a country with a population of 150,000 will play at the World Cup. To achieve this, they advanced through qualification, including winning the decisive group ahead of Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, and Bermuda. However, during the FIFA Series in March, they lost without a chance to both China and Australia. Recently, they took the lead against Scotland but then conceded four goals and suffered a heavy defeat.
The Aruba team was eliminated in the very first qualification round, where, in a group with their current opponent, Haiti, Saint Lucia, and Barbados, they managed just two points from four matches. Still, in March, they managed to thrash Macau and Liechtenstein 4-1.
Dick Advocaat's squad currently averages 1.6 goals scored and 1.6 goals conceded per match. Their neighbors, in friendlies, have a ratio of four scored to one conceded, but are unlikely to maintain such figures this time.
