🇨🇻 Pride of a nation: Cape Verde come home to a wild party; watch | OneFootball

PRIDE is perhaps the word that best defines Cape Verde’s participation in the FIFA World Cup, reaching the round of 32 right in its tournament debut.

And the Cape Verde national team’s return home this Sunday (5) reflects that. An INSANE welcome, with thousands of fans celebrating at the airport and in the streets. Take a look:

Cape Verde left the World Cup WITHOUT losing in 90 minutes. There were three draws in the group stage, against Spain, Uruguay, and Saudi Arabia.

Then, the Cape Verde national team drew 2-2 with Argentina in regular time, but lost in extra time (2-3).

The campaign turned players into stars, like Vozinha — who went from 50,000 to 25 MILLION followers on Instagram.
