Curazao and Cabo Verde have secured their spots in the expanded World Cup, but a four-time champion is now at risk of missing out. In a remarkable turn of events, 74-year-old coach Dick Advocaat, affectionately known as 'The Grandpa', has guided Curazao, dubbed 'The Blue Family', to their first-ever World Cup appearance.

Panama and Curacao have secured direct qualification to the World Cup. Curacao, with a population of just 150,000, has made history by qualifying for the first time. The team, known for their big heart, will join other debutants like Cabo Verde, Jordania, and Uzbekistan in the 2026 tournament. Alongside them, Panama and Haiti have also secured direct spots, while Jamaica and Suriname will compete in the repechage round. Steve McClaren has stepped down as Jamaica's coach following their 0-0 draw with Curacao.
