List of players for the Curaçao national team for the 2026 World Cup.

The Curaçao Football Federation has just announced the list of 26 players who will participate in the FIFA World Cup 2026. The team nicknamed "Blue Wave" will make its first-ever appearance in the finals of a World Cup.

The team is led by Dutch strategist Dick Advocaat, who left the head coach position in February and was replaced by Fred Rutten, but returned to his old position last week. In Group E, the Caribbean team will face Ivory Coast, Ecuador and Germany.

Coach Advocaat's 26-player squad includes many heroes who helped Curaçao qualify for the 2026 World Cup. Leading the list of goalkeepers is Eloy Room – one of the longest-serving players for the national team, renowned for his solid hands.

In defense, players like Jurien Gaari and Roshon van Eijma provide the "Blue Wave" with physical solidity in the back line. This is a crucial factor that helps Curaçao withstand stronger opponents in the group.
