Curacao
Curacao are thought to be one of only six countries who are not fully independent nations to qualify for a World Cup.
That is because they remain part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, along with neighbours Aruba and Sint Maarten.
The others are England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland – as they are part of the United Kingdom – and 1938 qualifiers Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia).
Natives of Curacao all hold Dutch passports – and until 2010 it was part of the Netherlands Antilles, a collection of Caribbean islands.
Curacao has only had its own national team since then – although the team are viewed as a continuation of the Dutch Antilles.
What would meeting the Netherlands in the knockout stages mean?
Juninho Bacuna, who ended last season on loan at Volendam, said: “If that happens, I’m giving, not 100, not 200, I will give 1000% more than I will give ever.
“We just want to show the world that we are a small island but we have got a big heart, belief and a lot of talent.”
