Khabib Ferdey sets record as Saudi Arabia closes tournament
The Cape Verdean national team achieved a historic milestone by qualifying for the Round of 16 in the 2026 World Cup for the first time in its history, becoming the ninth African team to reach this stage. It is also the first team to participate for the first time and surpass the group stage since 2010. Additionally, they maintained an undefeated record in all three matches, securing draws, and achieved an unprecedented level of defensive performance despite a weak attack that only produced 17 shots and an expected goals total of 1.2. This qualification enhances African presence in the tournament and represents an extraordinary achievement for a team participating in the World Cup for the first time.
