Cape Verde

The team's home ground is Estádio Nacional de Cabo Verde in the capital Praia, a national stadium that is a key facility for Cape Verde football and serves as the core venue for squad training camps, match preparation, and major home fixtures. As an African national side, Cape Verde currently sets the FIFA World Cup as its primary competitive target, representing the country on continental and global stages, while head coach Bubista is responsible for planning and executing the overall tactical system and match-day command.

Cape Verde have won 2, drawn 3 and lost 1 in their last 6 matches including friendlies. In the World Cup group stage, they went unbeaten across three matches — drawing 0-0 with Spain, sharing a 2-2 draw with Uruguay, and finishing with a 0-0 stalemate against Saudi Arabia to advance as group runners-up. In the round of 32, they faced Argentina and were eliminated after a 2-3 defeat. Their next match is scheduled for September 24, 2026, when they travel away to face Mali.
