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.
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
football 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.
