The Curaçao national football team (Dutch: Curaçaos voetbalelftal; Papiamento: Selekshon di Futbòl Kòrsou) represents Curaçao in men's international football, it is controlled by the Federashon Futbòl Kòrsou.
Following a constitutional change that allowed its predecessor, the Colony of Curaçao and Dependencies, to become a unified constituent country consisting of several island territories as the Netherlands Antilles and its dissolution in 2010, Curaçao has played under a new constitutional status as a separate constituent country since 2011.
Both FIFA and CONCACAF recognize the Curaçao national team as the direct successor of the dependant Territory of Curaçao (1921–1958) and the Netherlands Antilles (1958–2010).
In November 2025, they topped their qualifying group and qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, becoming the smallest nation by both population and area to qualify for the tournament. Curaçao became the first non-sovereign national team from the Americas to qualify for the FIFA World Cup (and fifth overall after England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, which are constituent countries of the United Kingdom and not independent countries), since the Dutch East Indies, a Dutch colony that competed in the 1938 tournament.
