Curacao Makes History as Smallest Nation to Qualify for World Cup
Curacao, a tiny Caribbean island with a population of 150,000, has made history by becoming the smallest nation to qualify for the World Cup. The former England boss, Steve McClaren, resigned as Jamaica's coach after a goalless draw against Curacao.
Curacao's coach, Dick Advocaat, is set to become the oldest coach at the World Cup at 78. The nation's qualification comes as the World Cup expands to include 48 nations in 2026, with automatic qualification for hosts Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
