Curaçao goes to the World Cup! The team of national coach Dick Advocaat, because that’s what he still is despite his temporary absence, held on hard in Kingston. After a draw against Jamaica, Curaçao has qualified for the World Cup. From the first second it became clear that it would be a fighting match. The playing field resembled a pockmarked track, which was not to the advantage of ‘footballing’ Curaçao. With only 155,000 inhabitants, it is the smallest country ever to participate in a Football World Cup. At the same time, Dick Advocaat is also making history: with this tournament he is the oldest national coach ever at a World Cup. According to sports reporter Noa Vahle, this is the greatest success of his career.
