As soon as the first passengers from Curaçao cleared customs, the party started.
Armed with a portable speaker and tons of energy, fans from the island nation turned the Kansas City International Airport’s baggage claim into a welcome bash Friday afternoon – playing music, hugging and dancing.
“Being at the World Cup is a symbol of Curaçao actually announcing itself to the world,” said Gillord Pisas, who came to the airport to welcome the flight.
He arrived in Kansas City from Curaçao two days ago.
“We gotta make sure we bring who we are, authentically, everywhere we go.
There’s no way you can let people from Curaçao come in and there’s no vibe.”
The charter flight was one of three arriving in Kansas City this week ahead of Curaçao’s World Cup match versus Ecuador on Saturday.
Curaçao, an island in the Caribbean just north of Venezuela and with a population just over 150,000, is the smallest country to ever qualify for the World Cup.
It’s the first time the nation has qualified to compete.
The team is uniformly considered an underdog.
The team lost 7-1 against Germany on Sunday, but Curaçaoans are still thrilled to see their nation on the world stage.
“I’m here to bring some good energy for everybody here, not only for Curaçao but around the world,” said Victor Garcia, another Curaçao fan who had come with Pisas to welcome the new arrivals.
Garcia led the dance party, busting moves with nearly every person who got off the plane.
He even grooved with Ecuador fans who had taken a different flight to Kansas City and were waiting for a bus.
“We wish you a great game,” Pisas told them cheerfully.
“But Curaçao is coming for the win!”
The Curacao soccer team will face Ecuador Saturday, June 20, 2026, at Arrowhead Stadium.
Game time is 7:00 p.m.
