While the world’s football elite and biggest stars are preparing for the 2026 World Cup by traveling in luxurious, branded, air-conditioned buses, the tournament’s absolute outsiders and debutants have decided on a completely different approach.
Curaçao’s national team became a hit on social media after arriving at the World Cup in an old school bus, no less.
“An old school bus. The windows are open. The music is blaring. The arrival of the Curacao national team is simply unrepeatable,” Sports Illustrated FC announced along with the viral video that garnered hundreds of thousands of views in record time.
Although many stars would refuse to ride in such a vehicle, representatives of this Caribbean island nation showed what it means to enjoy every moment of your football dream.
This wonderful team is writing the most beautiful pages of its sporting history this year, because this is their first debut participation in the World Cup, and with their arrival they have won the sympathy of football fans.
However, when the party ends and the official matches begin, they face a brutal challenge. Curaçao has been drawn in an extremely tough Group E, where they will play against Germany, Ecuador and Ivory Coast.
