With a population of about 156,000 and a land area of only 171 square miles, the Caribbean nation is the smallest country ever to qualify for the World Cup. They secured qualification after topping their CONCACAF group with a goalless draw against Jamaica.
Veteran Dutch coach Dick Advocaat, who guided the Netherlands at USA 1994 and South Korea at Germany 2006, returns to lead the team after briefly stepping down in February.
At 78, he will become the oldest manager in World Cup history.
The squad includes former Manchester United winger Tahith Chong, now playing for Sheffield United in the Championship.
