Qualification for the last 32 at the 2026 World Cup is on the line for both Curaçao and Côte d’Ivoire as they meet in the final round of group fixtures on Wednesday.
Stakes couldn’t be higher with both sides still in with a chance of making it to the knockout phase for the first time—Curaçao is making its debut at the World Cup, while Côte d’Ivoire exited in the group stage in 2006, 2010 and 2014.
