History
Bonaire's women's national team played 6 unofficial matches against club sides in the 2015 and 2017 Dutch Caribbean Women's Soccer Cups where they defeated Sint Maarten side Oualichi in both editions.[4][5] Their first official, international match came on 21 September 2023 in a 2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup qualification match against the Turks and Caicos Islands.[6] Bonaire, along with Cuba and Saint Lucia, were announced as late entrants in May 2023 and were placed into League C to preserve the integrity of the originally-announced leagues.[7]
