Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha went viral during his World Cup debut. Who is he? Meet the breakout star.

Reigning champions Argentina narrowly avoided one of the all-time great upsets as they beat Cape Verde 3-2 in one of the best matches in recent World Cup history. Sidny Lopes Cabral scored a remarkable goal-of-the-tournament contender when he curled a shot past Emiliano Martinez to draw Cape Verde level after Lisandro Martinez’s strike in extra time.

There was some rare tactical insight from Argentina’s captain after an almighty World Cup scare.

Where previous matches had brought more than 700 patrons to Ana's Palace, only a hundred or so came Friday to watch Cabo Verde take on Argentina.

Actors, former players and pundits across the world have come together in support of Cabo Verde after their World Cup heroics.

Cabo Verde goalkeeper Vozinha made 18 saves in the FIFA World Cup 2026, the third most by a custodian aged 40 or above in the tournament. He made seven saves against Spain and eight against Argentina as Cabo Verde crash out in the Round of 32 after a 2-3 loss to defending champions.

The prediction by Nana Kwaku Bonsam has gone viral on social media ahead of the Round of 32 fixture, despite having no sporting basis.

While Cabo Verde earns international attention for its inspiring FIFA World Cup journey, the island nation is also celebrating an extraordinary environmental achievement. A new study published in Biological Conservation reports that loggerhead turtle nesting activity on Boa Vista increased 80-fold between 1998 and 2024 following decades of conservation efforts.
