World Cup Underdogs Allowed to Share Rooms With WAGs as Female Team Doctor Promotes Pre-Match Sex
CURACAO World Cup stars are being urged to share rooms with their Wags and have sex before matches to give them “emotional support”.
The minnows are the smallest ever nation to qualify for the World Cup with a population of just over 150,000.

They have scored just once so far in the tournament, but picked up their first point after a 0-0 draw with Ecuador this weekend.
Curaçao, managed by former Sunderland boss Dick Advocaat, still retain a slim chance of reaching the knockout stage.
The team’s doctor has also suggested that players maintain an active sex life before matches as a way to gain a potential competitive edge.
Suzanne Huurman revealed that Advocaat has allowed players to share rooms with their partners in order to help keep the squad calm during their base camp in Florida.
Suzanne Huurman explained that the team has adopted a family-friendly approach during the tournament.
“Players can room with their teammates, and if they have children with them, their families are provided with an extra room,” she said.
According to Huurman, the arrangement is uncommon in international football but reflects Curaçao’s close-knit culture.
“It’s something quite unique for a national team. Curaçao is a small country with a warm, cheerful, and family-oriented culture that reminds me a lot of Brazil,” she said.
Huurman also believes that intimacy before matches can be beneficial—primarily from a mental and emotional perspective rather than a physical one.
“Yes, I think sex can help, but more for emotional well-being than for any direct physiological advantage. During a long tournament, having loved ones nearby eases homesickness and helps players feel more relaxed and at peace,” she added.
Most national teams enforce strict rules keeping players and their partners apart during the World Cup.
Former England manager Fabio Capello famously imposed tight curfews at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, severely limiting the amount of time players could spend with their WAGs.
Huurman, however, said Curaçao’s circumstances are very different, as the squad lacks the financial resources and elite-level experience of football’s biggest nations.
“Many of our players aren’t competing at the very highest level of world football,” she explained.
“For many families, traveling to and staying in the United States for several weeks would simply be too expensive. That’s why the federation chose to cover those costs, allowing players to have their partners and children close by. Otherwise, some of them would likely be distracted by stress or worry.”
Curaçao endured a difficult start to their World Cup campaign, suffering a 7-1 defeat to Germany, although they briefly celebrated after leveling the score in the first half.
They responded with an impressive 0-0 draw against Ecuador, leaving them just two points behind second-placed Ivory Coast in the race for a knockout-stage spot.
