In a coordinated international media campaign, the board has invited dozens of journalists, TV producers, and influencers to the island to capture the atmosphere surrounding the national team’s debut at the tournament. Coverage will center on fan culture, match-day experiences, and the so-called “Blue Wave” watch parties taking place across Curaçao.
For the national team’s matches scheduled for June 14, 20, and 25, media representatives from outlets including The Times (UK), German broadcaster ARD, and Dutch publications such as FHM, Men’s Health, Manners, and Metro will be present. Aruba’s Power FM is also among the visiting media partners.
The campaign is not limited to match days. Earlier coverage was generated during a public training session and a friendly match against Aruba, which attracted international outlets such as ESPN Brasil, Placar, Vandaag Inside, De Oranje Zomer, NOS, AD, Voetbal International, ZDF, Pro7 Galileo, and La Nación. Influencers from Chile and Peru also traveled to Curaçao to document the team’s preparations.
According to the Curaçao Tourist Board, the initiative is designed to convert global attention from the island’s World Cup debut into broader exposure for its culture, hospitality, and tourism attractions.
The Curaçao national football team’s participation marks a milestone moment, with officials hoping the sporting breakthrough will translate into long-term visibility for the Caribbean destination.
