The '''Aruba national football team''' is the national team of [[Aruba]] and is controlled by the [[Arubaanse Voetbal Bond]].
The '''Aruba national football team''' ([[Dutch language|Dutch]]: Arubaans voetbalelftal; [[Papiamento language|Papiamento]]: Seleccion Arubano di futbol) is the national team of [[Aruba]]. It was founded in 1932 and is affiliated with the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), CONCACAF and [[FIFA]] (since 1988) and is controlled by the [[Aruba Football Federation|Arubaanse Voetbal Bond]].


The team has never qualified for the [[FIFA World Cup]] or the [[CONCACAF Gold Cup]].

Between 1924 and 1933, Aruba only played against [[Curaçao national football team|Curaçao]], although these matches are not considered official.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Courtney |first1=Barrie |title=Aruba - List of International Matches |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/aruba-intres.html |website=RSSSF |access-date=2 February 2023 |archive-date=11 August 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220811173513/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/aruba-intres.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In the 1950s these matches were used to select the best players for the Netherlands Antilles team. Aruban players like [[Adriaan Brokke|Jani Brokke]] played for the Netherlands Antilles at the [[Football at the 1952 Summer Olympics|1952 Olympic Games]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.org/details/BNA-DIG-ESSONEWS-1952-06-06/mode/2up?q=%22Jani+Brokke%22 |title=Olympic Players, Helsinki Bound |website=Aruba Esso News on Coleccion Aruba, Biblioteca Nacional Aruba |date=1952-06-06 }} Group photo of the seven Aruban footballers in the Olympic team.</ref> Under the flag of the [[Curaçao Football Association]] (C.V.B.), they won gold with the Netherlands Antilles team at the [[Football at the 1950 Central American and Caribbean Games|1950 Central American and Caribbean Games]] and participated in the [[1953 CCCF Championship]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/23874 |title=Adriaan Brokke |work=Olympedia |accessdate=2023-06-12}}</ref>
==Gold Cup record==


In the 1950s the A.V.B. organised friendly matches and mini tournaments on the island. Examples are the 1952 match between Aruba and football club [[Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas|Botafogo]] (3-1)<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.org/details/BNA-DIG-ARUBAANSECOURANT-1952-08/page/n31/mode/2up?q=%22Jani+Brokke%22 |title=Oncena Arubano a derrota Botafago cu un score di 3-1 |website=Arubaanse Courant on Internet Archive |date=1952-08-11 |language=Papiamento }}</ref> and the 1953 series between Aruba, [[Surinam (Dutch colony)|Surinam]], [[British Guiana]] and professional club [[La Salle F.C.]] from [[Venezuela]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://archive.org/details/ANA-DIG-THELOCAL-1953-02-14/page/4/mode/2up?q=Brokke+RCA |title=Football: Aruba Wins Interland Series |website=The Local on Internet Archive |date=1953-02-14 }} Pages 5 to 7.</ref> Aruba participated in its first tournament at the [[1955 CCCF Championship]], where they finished in 5th place. In 1958, A.V.B. and C.V.B. merged into the [[Netherlands Antillean Football Union]]. Aruba took part in the [[Netherlands Antilles national football team]] until their secession in 1986.
*[[1991 CONCACAF Gold Cup|1991]] - ''Did not enter''
*[[1993 CONCACAF Gold Cup|1993]] - ''Withdrew''
*[[1996 CONCACAF Gold Cup|1996]] to [[2003 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2003]] - ''Did not qualify''

*[[2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2007]] - ''Did not enter''
*[[2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup|2009]] - ''Did not qualify''


Following its split from the Netherlands Antilles, the [[Aruba Football Federation]] was affiliated in 1988 with [[CONCACAF]] and [[FIFA]]. Aruba entered qualifying for the [[1989 Caribbean Cup]], and in its first group match it suffered the worst defeat in its history, at the hands of [[Trinidad and Tobago national football team|Trinidad and Tobago]], which crushed them 11–0. They played their first World Cup qualifying match against the [[Dominican Republic national football team|Dominican Republic]] as part of the [[1998 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF)|1998 World Cup qualifying]]. Aruba has participated in all the qualifying tournaments for the World Cup since, without being able to get past the first qualifying round.

Aruba has also yet to qualify for the [[Caribbean Cup]]. However, they showed some progress in the preliminary round of the [[2014 Caribbean Cup]] by getting two wins against [[Turks and Caicos national football team|Turks and Caicos]] (1–0) and [[British Virgin Islands national football team|British Virgin Islands]] (7–0), the latter being the biggest victory in its history. These results allowed them to reach 120th place in the FIFA World Ranking for the month of June 2014, their best ranking to date. Following these victories, Aruba lost 2–0 against [[French Guiana national football team|French Guiana]] and were eliminated.
== Current squad ==
The following players were called up for the [[Caribbean_Championships_2008#Group_Stage_One|Caribbean Championships 2008 Group Stage]] in July 2008.


Aruba began their [[2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF)|2018 World Cup qualification]] in the second round against [[Barbados national football team|Barbados]], losing 2–0 at home and 1–0 away, however FIFA ruled that Barbados had fielded an ineligible player, giving Aruba a 3–0 second leg victory and advancing them to the third round. Despite that, in the next round they were defeated again, this time by [[Saint Vincent and the Grenadines national football team|Saint Vincent and the Grenadines]] who won 3–2 on aggregate. Aruba failed to progress in the [[2022 FIFA World Cup qualification – CONCACAF first round|2022 World Cup qualifiers]], finishing 4th in the first round.

The Aruba national football team (Dutch: Arubaans voetbalelftal; Papiamento: Seleccion Arubano di futbol) is the national team of Aruba. It was founded in 1932 and is affiliated with the Caribbean Football Union (CFU), CONCACAF and FIFA (since 1988) and is controlled by the Arubaanse Voetbal Bond.

The team has never qualified for the FIFA World Cup or the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

History

[edit]

Between 1924 and 1933, Aruba only played against Curaçao, although these matches are not considered official.[5] In the 1950s these matches were used to select the best players for the Netherlands Antilles team. Aruban players like Jani Brokke played for the Netherlands Antilles at the 1952 Olympic Games.[6] Under the flag of the Curaçao Football Association (C.V.B.), they won gold with the Netherlands Antilles team at the 1950 Central American and Caribbean Games and participated in the 1953 CCCF Championship.[7]

In the 1950s the A.V.B. organised friendly matches and mini tournaments on the island. Examples are the 1952 match between Aruba and football club Botafogo (3-1)[8] and the 1953 series between Aruba, Surinam, British Guiana and professional club La Salle F.C. from Venezuela.[9] Aruba participated in its first tournament at the 1955 CCCF Championship, where they finished in 5th place. In 1958, A.V.B. and C.V.B. merged into the Netherlands Antillean Football Union. Aruba took part in the Netherlands Antilles national football team until their secession in 1986.

Following its split from the Netherlands Antilles, the Aruba Football Federation was affiliated in 1988 with CONCACAF and FIFA. Aruba entered qualifying for the 1989 Caribbean Cup, and in its first group match it suffered the worst defeat in its history, at the hands of Trinidad and Tobago, which crushed them 11–0. They played their first World Cup qualifying match against the Dominican Republic as part of the 1998 World Cup qualifying. Aruba has participated in all the qualifying tournaments for the World Cup since, without being able to get past the first qualifying round.

Aruba has also yet to qualify for the Caribbean Cup. However, they showed some progress in the preliminary round of the 2014 Caribbean Cup by getting two wins against Turks and Caicos (1–0) and British Virgin Islands (7–0), the latter being the biggest victory in its history. These results allowed them to reach 120th place in the FIFA World Ranking for the month of June 2014, their best ranking to date. Following these victories, Aruba lost 2–0 against French Guiana and were eliminated.

Aruba began their 2018 World Cup qualification in the second round against Barbados, losing 2–0 at home and 1–0 away, however FIFA ruled that Barbados had fielded an ineligible player, giving Aruba a 3–0 second leg victory and advancing them to the third round. Despite that, in the next round they were defeated again, this time by Saint Vincent and the Grenadines who won 3–2 on aggregate. Aruba failed to progress in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, finishing 4th in the first round.
