Cape Verde make World Cup debut after historic qualification

Cape Verde are making their first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance at the 2026 tournament in the United States, one of four nations to debut at the competition. The African island nation, home to barely half a million people, secured qualification last October by finishing ahead of Cameroon. Despite fielding no players from Europe's top five leagues, the Blue Sharks reached the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations just two years ago. They face European champions Spain, Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay in the group stage. Al Jazeera's Andy Richardson reports. Subscribe to our channel: http://bit…
