Netherlands Antilles national football team

The Netherlands Antilles national football team (Dutch: Nederlands-Antilliaans voetbalelftal; Papiamento: Selekshon Antiano di futbòl) was the national team of the former Netherlands Antilles from 1958 to 2010.

The Netherlands Antilles team never qualified for the FIFA World Cup.

The country managed to come third in the CONCACAF championships of 1963 and 1969; during the 1963 tournament they were unofficial football world champions for four days after beating Mexico and before losing to Costa Rica.

The Netherlands Antilles was dissolved as a unified political entity on 10 October 2010, and the five constituent islands took on new constitutional statuses within the Kingdom of the Netherlands,[3] forming 2 new countries (Curaçao and Sint Maarten) and 3 new special municipalities of the Netherlands (namely Bonaire, Saba and Sint Eustatius).

The Curaçao national football team took the place of the Netherlands Antilles as a FIFA member.
