Cape Verde will aim to write another chapter in their 2026 FIFA World Cup fairy tale when they take on Saudi Arabia in their final Group H match – and you can stream the match live around the world for free.
The Blue Sharks and goalkeeper Vozinha, 40, was one of the feel-good stories of the tournament. After holding Euro 2024 champions Spain to a stalemate in their first ever World Cup match, Bubista’s boys faced two-time winners Uruguay and earned a deserved 2-2 draw, with Kevin Pina and Helio Varela scoring the archipelago’s first goals in the final. This means that a country with only 530,000 inhabitants has a realistic chance of reaching the knockout stage. A win against Saudi Arabia in Houston would advance to the round of 32, while a draw would put them among the top teams for third place.
Saudi Arabia also knows that a win should be enough, even if they go into the final round bottom of Group H with just one point. The Green Falcons were victims of poor timing when they came up against a hurting Spain side following their goalless draw against Cape Verde last time out, falling to a convincing 4-0 defeat. They will hope La Roja adopt this form in their clash against Uruguay, which kicks off at the same time as this one, as a victory for the Saudis, coupled with a loss of points for the South Americans, would see Georgios Donis’ side finish second. But anything but a victory, and they will return home.
