About this match

Curacao, with its 150,000 inhabitants, is the smallest country at this World Cup and is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands — meaning many of their players grew up in the academies of Ajax, PSV, and Feyenoord. Ivory Coast, the reigning African champions, bring the strength of winning the 2024 AFCON at home with a campaign of dramatic comebacks. For Curacao, this match is already the greatest sporting event in the island's history; for the Ivorians, it is the obligation to confirm their favoritism against the group's smallest opponent.
