Curaçao travels to Bermuda with World Cup hopes at stake | OneFootball

MIAMI — The Final Round of the Concacaf Qualifiers to the 2026 FIFA World Cup Bermuda hosting Curaçao in Group B on Thursday at the Dame Flora Duffy South Field National Sports Center in Devonshire, Bermuda.

This will be a rematch of their September encounter that ended in a thrilling back-and-forth 3-2 victory for Curaçao. Tahiti Chong recorded a brace in that game and Tyrese Noslin notched the late winner.

Bermuda (0-0-4) is eliminated from World Cup contention but aim to use its remaining matches to prepare its next wave of players. Four new faces called up to the senior national team include Brighton Morrison, Danavon Thompson, Jace Donawa and Logan Jimenez.

Curaçao (2-2-0) is currently in second place of the group with eight points. The nation is on a nine-match undefeated run in World Cup Qualifying (6 wins, 3 draws), and enjoyed a stellar October window, blanking group leaders Jamaica 2-nil and drawing 1-1 with Trinidad and Tobago. Forward Kenji Gorré scored in both matches, and goalkeeper Eloy Room has played a major role as a standout in net.

In order to stay alive for first place in the group, Curaçao needs at least a draw in the event of a Jamaica win. Group leaders Jamaica could seal the top spot in the group, and the accompanying direct World Cup qualification, with a victory over Trinidad and Tobago and a Bermuda win.
