Witness the historic 2026 World Cup journey as underdog Cabo Verde prepares for a massive Round of 32 clash against Argentina on 4 July, proving that resilience and footballing passion define global sports greatness.

Have a weekend, Cape Verde. The national soccer team returned home Sunday as heroes after their run to the round of 32 of the World Cup and pushing Lionel Messi and Argentina into extra time. The men's basketball team clinched a berth in the second round of that sport's World Cup qualifying as well.

Argentina advanced to the World Cup ​last 16 with a 3-2 extra-time victory over Cape Verde, but the reigning champions left the match ‌with new doubts after being pushed to the brink by the tournament debutants.
