The Curaçao team continues to win favor even before the start of the 2026 World Cup. After securing qualification for the competition for the first time, the team made an unusual arrival in the United States that quickly went viral.
After beating Aruba 4-0 in a friendly, the Caribbean delegation appeared aboard a yellow school bus, with the players celebrating with open windows and loud music, in a festive atmosphere.
The images quickly spread across social media and generated a wave of praise for the team’s good humor and simplicity. Many fans even declared that they will support Curaçao during the competition.
The team is part of Group E of the 2026 World Cup, where they will face Germany, Ecuador and Ivory Coast. The Caribbean side’s historic debut is already one of the most inspiring stories of the tournament.
Old-school bus. No windows. Music playing. Curaçao‘s team bus arrival is unmatched.
