Aruba national football team results
The Aruba national football team represents Aruba in international association football, under the auspices of the Aruba Football Federation. Aruba played its first international match in 1930, challenging neighboring Curaçao. The Arubaanse Voetbal Bond was founded the same year, and officially organized in 1932. Although the AVB had existed since 1932, Aruba was previously officially represented in football as part of the Netherlands Antilles national team until 1986. That year, Aruba gained status aparte from the Netherlands Antilles and became a separate country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The same year, Aruba became a member of CONCACAF. Two years later, the country was accepted as a FIFA member nation. Aruba's first match after joining the world governing body was a loss to Trinidad and Tobago in friendly tournament on 31 March 1989. Despite finishing last in its group, Aruba gained its first point in an international match with a scoreless draw with Grenada in 1989 Caribbean Cup qualification on 21 May 1989.[1][2]
Historically, most of Aruba's matches have been played against other members of CONCACAF, with several exceptions. In 2010, the nation played neighboring Venezuela, a member of CONMEBOL. The South American nation won 3–0.[3] Aruba hosted Guam for two friendlies in March 2014. The two matches were Aruba's first-ever contests against a member of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC). The first match ended in a 2-2 draw.[4] Aruba won the second match 2–0.[5] In March 2025, Aruba played a friendly away at Cambodia, another AFC member. Aruba won the match 2–1.[6] In 2026, Aruba was announced as a participant in the 2026 FIFA Series, a new competition meant to promote member nations playing members of other confederations. Aruba was drawn into a group with Liechtenstein (UEFA), Macau (AFC), and Tanzania (CAF) with matches played in Rwanda.[7]
