NETHERLANDS ANTILLES NATIONAL FOOTBALL TEAM

The 'Netherlands Antilles national football team' is the national team of the Netherlands Antilles and is controlled by the Nederlands Antilliaanse Voetbal Unie. Aruba split in 1986 and has its own team.
The Netherlands Antilles team has never qualified for the World Cup. The country managed to come third in the CONCACAF championships of 1963 and 1969, and for four days in March 1963 would have been regarded as unofficial World Champions.

Future

Two new associated states within the Kingdom of the Netherlands are to be formed, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, so they may have their own football team. In fact Sint Maarten already have their own team within CONCACAF. Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius would become directly part of the Netherlands as Kingdom Islands, so they would not have their own football team. On November 28, 2005, an agreement was signed between the Dutch government and the governments of each island that would put into effect the commission's findings in December, 2008 [1].
