Spain have learned their first opponent at the 2026 World Cup: Cabo Verde. Known as the 'Blue Sharks,' the team has experienced a remarkable rise over the past decade, becoming one of the most compelling stories in recent African football.
Situated in the Atlantic Ocean roughly 600 kilometers off the west coast of Africa, Cabo Verde is an archipelago made up of ten main islands and several islets. Though geographically part of the African continent, the territory was administered by Portugal until gaining independence in 1975.
