Magic 96.5 FM is preparing what it describes as the most ambitious, complete, and dynamic football coverage in its history for the FIFA World Cup 2026. This follows an extremely successful promotion where a loyal listener won an exclusive travel package to witness a historic match in Curaçao. With the countdown officially underway, the station announced that listeners can expect additional prizes, contests, and special surprises in the coming weeks.
At the core of the coverage will be legendary narrator Cadochi Kock, who has spent years capturing the emotion and intensity of the sport in a style that has become part of the collective memory of Aruban sports fans. He will be joined by panelist Devin de Veer, whose knowledge of international football adds depth to the broadcast. The team is further complemented by Arianne Westerburger, who will provide professional analysis and technical perspectives on the tournament’s tactics and developments.
Supporting the on-air talent, a technical team including Trevor Rosel, Allen Rafael, and Reno Irausquin is working to ensure exceptional quality in production and multimedia content. The coverage will not be limited to matches; listeners will receive continuous updates, post-match reactions, interviews, and breaking news. Reports will come directly from the host nations and fan zones worldwide.
“Our goal is to make every listener feel as if they are present at the World Cup,” the station’s direction stated. “Football is passion, emotion, and community, and we want to share that with all of Aruba.” Under the leadership of Director Erin Croes, Magic FM aims to bring the tournament directly to listeners across the island.
