Australia vs Curacao: Preview
In 2005, Australia was approved to move from the OFC to the AFC. They hadn't played at the World Cup since their only previous qualification in 1974, falling to CONMEBOL opposition in inter-confederation play-offs time and again.
The Socceroos have qualified for every World Cup since they changed confederation, and World Cup 2026 is no exception. Here's why: Australia won their AFC group with a 100% record and didn't concede a goal against Palestine, Lebanon, and Bangladesh.
In the next round, Tony Popovic's team finished behind Japan, securing one of the Asian confederation's eight automatic places at the finals in the United States, Canada, and Mexico this summer.
There, they will come up against formidable opposition. Australia were drawn into Group D along with hosts USA, Paraguay, and either Kosovo or Türkiye. Like confederation rivals Japan, getting past the round of 16 is the next milestone for Popovic's boys.
Curaçao have already surpassed their best World Cup performance. They became the smallest nation ever to qualify for the finals by topping their group in the second round of CONCACAF qualifying and doing the same in the third round, clinching their place ahead of Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, and Bermuda.
Fred Rutten is now in charge of Curaçao following the resignation of legendary Dutch manager Dick Advocaat, who had to step down due to tragic family reasons.
Rutten will lead the Blue Wave against Germany, Ecuador, and Ivory Coast in the United States in June.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Australia 2-0 Curacao
Curacao are upsetting the odds when it comes to the bigger World Cup picture but a friendly loss against China bodes poorly for a trip to Melbourne.
