Coca-Cola announces third Curaçao winner of World Cup trip as excitement builds for 2026 tournament

Local, Entertainment, | By Press release May 5, 2026

 

WILLEMSTAD – The Coca-Cola Company Curaçao has announced the third winner of its “Score with Coca-Cola” 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign, awarding another all-expenses-paid trip to the world’s biggest football tournament.

Sherwin Eisden has been selected as the latest winner and will travel with his wife, Sinaida Kook, to Houston, Texas, where they will attend Curaçao’s historic World Cup clash against Germany national football team.

The prize was personally delivered to Eisden at his home.

What began as a surprise quickly turned into an emotional moment.

Eisden said he initially believed he had won a television, only to discover he would instead be heading to the World Cup.

He entered the campaign by submitting multiple promotional codes found under Coca-Cola bottle caps.

“If you believe, you will get there,” Eisden said after learning he had won.

According to Myrthe George-Verhulst, Marketing and PACS Manager for Coca-Cola Curaçao, the campaign is designed to celebrate the historic significance of Curaçao qualifying for the World Cup for the first time.

“This World Cup is a historic moment for Curaçao, and that is why we are celebrating it in a big way through this campaign,” George-Verhulst said.

“It is special to see how something as simple as sending in a code under a bottle cap can lead to an experience that stays with you for the rest of your life.”

The promotion will continue until the World Cup final on July 19.

Coca-Cola says the campaign includes more than 55,000 instant prizes, along with additional raffle draws.

Among the major prizes still up for grabs are three televisions and three Money Cards worth 1,000 guilders each.

Other direct prizes include official FIFA x Coca-Cola merchandise, free soft drinks and partner prizes from McDonald's.

Participation remains simple.

Consumers can buy a locally produced Coca-Cola product, register once via WhatsApp, and submit the code found under the special gold cap marked “Promotion.”

The campaign forms part of Coca-Cola’s long-standing global connection with football and its effort to mark Curaçao’s historic World Cup debut in 2026.

With national excitement continuing to grow ahead of the tournament, the campaign is giving local fans a chance to be part of football history firsthand.
