Curaçao's 2026 World Cup squad is officially confirmed, named by head coach Fred Rutten on May 18, 2026. The 26-player roster brings together three goalkeepers, eight defenders, eight midfielders and seven forwards. Curaçao is drawn into Group E, where it faces Germany, Côte d'Ivoire and Ecuador. The most-played player in the last 12 months of national-team football is Eloy Room, with 911 minutes across 10 caps, the squad's most in-form option heading into the tournament. Close behind is Leandro Bacuna on 851 minutes, another of the side's most-used players over the same period. Over the past twelve months the team has posted 4 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses, scoring 20 goals and conceding 23. Our ranking orders the squad purely by national-team minutes, not club minutes, and every name links to a player profile with the full minutes and recent-form breakdown.
