🕕 18h – 🇨🇻 Cap-Vert vs Eswatini 🇸🇿#WCQ2026#CPVESWpic.twitter.com/G1qTclPZR1
Despite being drawn in a tough group with Cameroon, Angola, and Libya, Cape Verde has overcome every obstacle. Even better, they secured a landmark victory over Cameroon (1–0), edging closer to their World Cup dream.Tonight, the stage is perfectly set to cap off this exceptional campaign. Their opponents, Eswatini, sit bottom of the table with just three points and have yet to win in nine matches. In short, the destiny of the Cape Verdeans is in their own hands: win, and the World Cup ticket is officially theirs.Meanwhile, Cameroon still holds a faint hope. The Indomitable Lions face Angola tonight as well, hoping for a slip-up from Cape Verde to keep their own qualification hopes alive for a World Cup that, for the first time ever, will feature 48 teams.
Group D – Today’s fixtures
- Cameroon vs Angola – 4:00pm
- Mauritius vs Libya – 4:00pm
- Cape Verde vs Eswatini – 4:00pm
