🌎🇨🇻 OFFICIAL: Cape Verde are OUT of the 2026 World Cup.
One of the most emotional, beautiful, proud teams to see in history of this competition.
500k population, a big heart. What a game, what a team.
🌎🇨🇻 Lionel Messi on Cape Verde: “Some people might underestimate certain teams… but we knew this was NEVER going to be an easy match”.
“That’s what makes this World Cup so special. Everything is incredibly close, and every single game is extremely difficult”.
It’s just not a fluke anymore, Cape Verde are legit. There’s nothing more they can do to prove it.
Simply THE story of the World Cup, regardless of how this ends.

🗣"I walked up to him at full time and he congratulated me"
"Cape Verde. Thank you, on behalf of the world. You made us dream and watch your dreams lived out in real time. We’ll never forget you. What a performance against the world champions."
