The Cape Verde national football team is the official football team for the country of Cape Verde. They are often called the Tubarões Azuis, which means "Blue Sharks" in Portuguese. The team is also known as the Crioulos. They are managed by the Cape Verdean Football Federation.
Cape Verde played its very first match on April 19, 1978, against Guinea, losing 1–0. After joining the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and FIFA in 1982, the team began to compete in bigger tournaments. They first tried to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations in 1992 and for the FIFA World Cup in 2003.
The team usually plays its home games at the Estádio Nacional de Cabo Verde. They made their first appearance in the Africa Cup of Nations in 2013. Since then, they also qualified for the tournaments in 2015, 2021, and 2023. Their best results were reaching the quarter-finals in both 2013 and 2023. In 2021, Cape Verde was ranked 73rd in the world by FIFA. The team's coach is Pedro Leitão Brito.
Cape Verde qualified for the FIFA World Cup for the first time for the 2026 tournament. This made them one of the smallest nations ever to qualify for the World Cup, with a population of just under 525,000 people.

History
How the Team Started
Cape Verde became an independent country from Portugal in 1975. The national football team played its first international game on May 29, 1978. They lost 1–0 to Guinea in a tournament held in Guinea-Bissau. The Cape Verdean Football Federation was created in 1982 and joined FIFA in 1986.
Many players for the national team come from Cape Verdeans living abroad. There are more Cape Verdeans living outside the islands than on the islands themselves! Most of the team's current international players play for clubs in Europe or Asia. Some of them were even born outside Cape Verde.
Big Tournaments: World Cup and Africa Cup
Cape Verde has worked hard to qualify for major football tournaments. They qualified for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. Their first attempt to qualify for the FIFA World Cup was for the 2002 tournament. In that campaign, they were eliminated early after one draw and one loss against Algeria.
For the 2006 FIFA World Cup and 2006 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Cape Verde reached the Final Round. They achieved their first away victory against Burkina Faso. However, they finished fifth in their group and did not qualify for either final tournament.
Under coach João de Deus, new players from European leagues joined the team for the 2010 FIFA World Cup and 2010 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Cape Verde finished second in their group in the Second Round, behind Cameroon. They did not advance to the Third Round. Dady was their top scorer in that qualifying campaign.
Finally, Cape Verde qualified for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations after a surprising 3–2 win on aggregate against Cameroon.
Africa Cup of Nations 2013: A Big First!
On October 14, 2012, Cape Verde secured its first-ever spot in the Finals of the Africa Cup of Nations. They beat Cameroon 3–2 over two matches. They won their home game 2–0 in Praia and lost the away game 2–1 in Yaoundé.
Cape Verde was drawn into Group A for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. They played against Angola, Morocco, and the host nation South Africa. Cape Verde played the opening match of the tournament against South Africa on January 19, 2013. At the time, Cape Verde had the highest FIFA ranking in their group.
In the tournament, Cape Verde drew 0–0 with South Africa and 1–1 with Morocco. Platini scored Cape Verde's first-ever goal in the AFCON. They then won their first AFCON match, beating Angola 2–1. Goals from Fernando Varela and Héldon Ramos helped them reach the quarter-finals in their very first appearance!
On February 2, 2013, Cape Verde played against Ghana in the quarter-finals. Cape Verde played well, taking more shots on goal than Ghana. However, Ghana's goalkeeper Abdul Dauda made great saves. Mubarak Wakaso scored two goals for Ghana, leading to a 2–0 win. This ended Cape Verde's amazing 2013 Africa Cup of Nations journey.
Africa Cup of Nations 2015: Unbeaten but Out
On October 15, 2014, Cape Verde was one of the first teams to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations. They joined host nation Equatorial Guinea after beating Mozambique 1–0 at home. Under their new coach Rui Águas, they finished first in their qualifying group. They were in a group with Mozambique, Niger, and Zambia.
In the final tournament, Cape Verde was in Group B with Zambia, Tunisia, and DR Congo. Their first match on January 18, 2015, was a 1–1 draw against Tunisia. Héldon scored a penalty kick to tie the game. Four days later, they drew 0–0 against DR Congo.
Their final group match against Zambia on January 26, 2015, also ended in a 0–0 draw. Despite being undefeated in the group stage, Cape Verde was eliminated. They had the same number of points as DR Congo but lost out due to goal difference. The team showed good defense but only scored one goal in the tournament.
Africa Cup of Nations 2023: Quarter-Finals Again!
Cape Verde qualified for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and was placed in Group B. They started strong, beating Ghana 2–1. Garry Rodrigues scored the winning goal in the final minutes. In their second match, Cape Verde won 3–0 against Mozambique. These results meant Cape Verde secured their spot in the knockout stage as group winners before their last group match.
In their final group game, Cape Verde played Egypt. The match ended in a 2–2 draw, with Bryan Teixeira scoring a late goal to equalize. In the Round of 16, Cape Verde faced Mauritania. Captain Ryan Mendes scored a penalty in the 88th minute, sending them to the quarter-finals.
In the quarter-finals, Cape Verde played against South Africa. The game was a 0–0 draw even after extra time, so it went to a penalty shootout. Unfortunately, Cape Verde missed four of their five penalty kicks and lost the shootout 1–2. This ended their impressive run in the tournament.
Other Achievements
Cape Verde has won two titles. They hosted and won the Amílcar Cabral Cup in 2000. They also won the gold medal in the football tournament at the 2009 Lusophony Games. The team earned a bronze medal at the 2006 Lusofonia Games.
The team played its first non-African opponent, Luxembourg, in a friendly match on November 2, 2002. The game ended in a 0–0 draw. On September 4, 2009, they beat Malta 2–0 in a friendly. On May 24, 2010, Cape Verde drew 0–0 with a strong Portugal team. At that time, Portugal was ranked third in FIFA, and Cape Verde was 117th. On March 31, 2015, Cape Verde surprisingly won 2–0 against Portugal in Estoril.

Home Stadiums
The national team used to play its games at Estádio da Várzea. This stadium is in the capital city, Praia, on Santiago Island. It was reopened in 2006 and can hold 8,000 people.
A new national stadium, the Estádio Nacional de Cabo Verde, was planned in 2007. China helped finance its construction. The project aimed to build a 10,000-seat stadium in Achada de São Filipe, north of the capital. It was designed for football and athletics. Construction started in October 2010. The stadium's capacity was later increased to 15,000 spectators.
Today, the team plays most of its home matches at the Estádio Nacional de Cabo Verde. The Tubarões Azuis have also played games at the 5,000-seat Adérito Sena Municipal Stadium in Mindelo.
