Curacao’s trailblazer doctor on football’s big stage

Dr. Suzanne Huurman, Curacao’s team doctor, is making history as the sole female head of medical staff among 48 men at the 2026 World Cup. She’s only the third woman in 96 years to hold this role, leading the tournament’s smallest nation. Huurman finds being the “only woman in the room” normal but hopes for more, urging capable women to pursue opportunities despite challenges in the “always-on” football world.
