Germany is preparing for its 21st World Cup appearance as they face Curaçao in a qualifying match. For Curaçao, this game marks a historic debut in the FIFA World Cup.

Despite Germany's four-time championship titles, their recent performance in the tournament has been disappointing, with consecutive early exits after the group stage in the last two competitions. This match presents an opportunity for Germany to reassert its dominance.

Curaçao's participation is particularly noteworthy as they will become the smallest nation in history to compete in the World Cup, boasting a population of just 150,000. The team is managed by the renowned Dutch football legend Dick Advocaat.

The qualifying group also includes Ivory Coast and Ecuador. The match is scheduled to begin at 8 PM, with key events to be followed on the Delfi news portal.
