For decades, Curaçao dreamed of playing at the World Cup.
An island of less than 200,000 people watched football’s biggest stage from afar, wondering if their day would ever come.
Today, they stood against Germany. They lost 7:1
But when Curaçao scored their first ever World Cup goal, the result didn’t matter. Their fans erupted in joy. Players celebrated like they had won the tournament.
This wasn’t the story of a defeat. That was a goal that will be replayed for decades.
It was the story of a small island making history and telling the world “We are here, and this is only the beginning.” 🇨🇼❤️
