The Curacao national team started out with a clean slate ranking-wise in 2010, when the Netherlands Antilles split up and Curacao became an independent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and as such a full FIFA member and affiliated with CONCACAF and CFU.

The Curacao Futbol Federation stated as one their ambitions for the coming decade: improving their position on the FIFA Ranking and eventually qualifying for the final round of a World Cup event by deploying talented professional players and staff for the national team.
