In the match against Ecuador, Room had 15 saves, helping him stand out in the eyes of scouts. After his team was eliminated, Room said he would take some time to rest before deciding on his future.
"Many clubs have contacted my agent," Room shared. "However, first I want to relax a bit and will consider everything after that."
The 2026 World Cup is not only Curaçao's first time participating in this major tournament, but also where they scored their first goal and won their first score in history at a World Cup. Room recalled: "This feeling is still very unbelievable. Everything we experienced here was amazing. The goal against Germany, even though we lost heavily, still received great support from the fans. Today too, many people from Curaçao came to cheer for us."
"The best moment for me was the first save against Ecuador. Everything that happened was great," Room added. With more than 11 years of experience playing for the national team, Room has witnessed many changes. He is proud of what the team has achieved, asserting: "Those who said we couldn't make it to the World Cup with Curaçao have been proven by us that it is possible. That gives me a great feeling of satisfaction."
