Reports say Curacao, competing at its first World Cup, allows players to have private time with their partners during the tournament. According to the accounts published by Daily Mail, the team is described as providing opportunities for “conjugal visits,” including the possibility that players share rooms with their WAGs (wives or girlfriends). The reports also claim the team doctor supports the arrangement, including approving sexual activity before games as a form of “emotional help.”
The coverage frames the practice as aimed at players’ mental comfort and morale rather than as part of a formal performance strategy. However, details such as the exact team policy, whether the practice is mandatory or optional, and how frequently it occurs are not specified in the provided excerpts. The reports focus on the contrast between Curacao’s approach and typical tournament restrictions, portraying the arrangement as unusual and contributing to team morale.
