October 09th: In yesterday's African World Cup preliminaries, Cape Verde drew 3-3 with Libya and missed the chance to secure a spot in the 2026 World Cup in advance. However, they still have the upper hand in the standings. As long as they defeat Swaziland, the last place in the group, in the final round, they can advance to the 2026 World Cup.

After the game, the Cape Verde government announced that on October 13, the final round of the World Cup preliminaries, Cape Verde will take a national holiday starting from 12 o'clock, giving the Cape Verde national team unprecedented support.

With only the last round of World Cup qualifying left, Cape Verde still leads by 2 points. In the next round, it will face Swaziland, which is at the bottom of the group. A win will ensure that the team advances to the World Cup for the first time in its history. Cameroon is 2 points behind in second place, but has a 7-goal difference advantage.
