Participant Preview (Season Summary)
Cape Verde arrive at their final pre-World Cup friendly after a 3-0 win over Serbia in Lisbon, a performance that underscored their attacking intent. FIFA's June 2 confirmation of Cape Verde's final 2026 World Cup squad gives the side a settled lineup, a clear hierarchy and the freedom to concentrate on tactical fine-tuning ahead of the tournament. The upcoming June 6 friendly at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in East Hartford offers a final chance to lock in a cohesive unit before the World Cup kick-off.
