The Suriname World Cup 2026 squad could well actually happen – with the nation two matches away from North America.
World Cup 2026 will be blessed with several debut nations, primarily a consequence of the expanded 48-team tournament – but in Suriname's case, they've been boosted by the availability of dual nationals, meaning that Dutch-Surinamese players have increasingly entered the fold. Some of the Netherlands' greatest players would have qualified if they were playing today: or now, simply having the talent to take Suriname to the United States, Mexico and Canada is a welcome change and coincides nicely with the larger finals tournament.
