Curacao's qualification for the World Cup is record-breaking - even for their manager Dick Advocaat.

The tiny Caribbean island nation will play at the 2026 World Cup after securing a draw on Tuesday night with Jamaica , enough to top their Concacaf qualification group.

Curacao will become the smallest-ever nation at a World Cup.

But their experienced manager Advocaat is also on course to break another record.

Aged 78, he will become the oldest manager to lead a team to the World Cup next summer.

Advocaat will break the record that belongs to Otto Rehhagel, who was 71 years and 317 days when he led Greece in their final World Cup match in 2010.

Advocaat is a veteran of international management.
