Curacao will make their first CONCACAF Gold Cup appearance this decade by facing El Salvador in Group B on Wednesday at PayPal Park in San Jose, California.
Both teams advanced to the third stage of World Cup 2026 qualifying last week, with Curacao defeating Haiti 5-1 and El Salvador drawing 1-1 with Suriname.
Under coach Dick Advocaat, Curacao are in excellent form, having won five of their last six matches with a combined score of 19-2. This will be their first Gold Cup match since 2019, when they finished second in their group and advanced to the quarter-finals.
Curacao have not lost to a Central American team since June 2022, while El Salvador remain hopeful for World Cup qualification. They narrowly edged out Puerto Rico for second place in their qualifying group and have drawn three matches this year.
Since Hernan Gomez's appointment in February, El Salvador have avoided defeat in four of five matches, with their only loss in a friendly. They are winless in their last five Gold Cup matches and last won a group fixture in July 2021 against Trinidad and Tobago.
Historically, El Salvador have never lost to Curacao, winning both of their previous Gold Cup encounters: 2-0 in 2017 and 1-0 in 2019.
