Thursday, June 25, 2026·Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia·Group E finale

The match that could complete the impossible. After Eloy Room's heroics earned a point against Ecuador, Curaçao sit level on points and in with a shout of the knockouts going into their final group game against African champions Ivory Coast. Win, and the smallest nation ever at a World Cup reaches the Round of 32 at the first attempt. Few storylines in the sport's history would top it.
