Spain arrives in Atlanta with the air of a team expecting a long World Cup summer, but on Monday it will face an opponent with an equally powerful feeling: the giddy disbelief of a country – Cape Verde – seeing its name on the tournament board for the first time.
However, Cape Verde is not only located in North America to provide romance.
The Blue Sharks were one of the surprise qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup and, with fewer than 600,000 inhabitants, are the third smallest country by population to reach the tournament, after Iceland in 2018 and Curaçao, also in 2026.
