Curaçao has been associated with several statistical distinctions at the current FIFA World Cup, as documented by Dutch football publication VoetbalPlus.

According to VoetbalPlus, Curaçao’s squad ranks among the smallest represented at the tournament, based on the average height of its registered players. This places the island nation in a notable position within the official tournament statistics.

The same source reports that Curaçao fields one of the oldest players currently active at the World Cup. Further details regarding the identity and background of this player are provided in the original VoetbalPlus publication, though these claims have not been independently verified through additional sources.

A third distinction cited by VoetbalPlus concerns a player with roots in the Dutch province of Drenthe, who is reported to be the first individual from that region to appear in a World Cup finals. According to the publication, this constitutes a historical milestone for both the player and the province in question.

The parties concerned could not be reached for comment.

Curaçao competes as an independent footballing nation under the CONCACAF confederation and holds a separate FIFA membership, distinct from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The island’s participation in major international tournaments represents a relatively recent development in its footballing history.
