After the expansion of the US-Canada-Mexico World Cup, more teams that have never played in the World Cup can realize their dreams!

Cape Verde 3-0 Swaziland

In the 10th round of the World Cup preliminaries in Africa, Cape Verde 3-0 Swaziland at home, defeating Cameroon, the seed team in this group, and advancing to the World Cup finals for the first time in history!

It is worth mentioning that in order to celebrate this historic moment, Cape Verde decided to have a national holiday to witness the greatest achievement in their sports history!

Currently, Cape Verde is ranked 70th in the FIFA world rankings. In fact, they originally defeated Libya in the last round to qualify for the World Cup. However, they chased 3-3 after falling behind 1-3 in the away game. The stoppage time winner was misjudged, and the final suspense was postponed to home court.

In addition, the German transfer also updated Cape Verde's lineup data. Cape Verde's lineup has a total value of only 27 million euros, ranking only 19th among African teams, and Morocco, the first place, has a total value of 403 million euros.

The most valuable players in Cape Verde are Lenini and Pina. Both of them are worth 5 million euros. Only 8 players are worth 1 million euros or more.

This country has a total population of only 540,000 and a total area of ​​4,033 square kilometers. It has also become the second smallest country after Iceland in the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

The United States, Canada and Mexico World Cup will once again witness their miracle!
