Cape Verde Form

Cape Verde secured their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup after drawing 3-3 with Libya and beating Eswatini 3-0 in their World Cup qualification matches in October.

In September, Cape Verde defeated Mauritius 2-0 and Cameroon 1-0 in two World Cup qualifiers.

The Blue Sharks have won three of their last five fixtures, including two draws. They scored ten goals and conceded four.

Cape Verde have not lost in nine outings, which includes six victories; however, they face a tricky test against an Iran side that is ranked just outside the top twenty in the world rankings.

Cape Verde's squad for the clash with Iran will likely consist of the following players:

Goalkeepers: Bruno Varela, Josimar Dias ‘Vozinha’, Márcio da Rosa

Defenders: Edilson Borges ‘Diney’, Ianique Tavares ‘Stopira’, Kelvin Pires ‘Djack’, Ricardo Santos, Sidny Lopes Cabral, Steven Moreira, Wagner Pina, David Moreira

Midfielders: Aílson Tavares, Deroy Duarte, João Paulo Fernandes, Jamiro Monteiro, Laros Duarte, Kevin Pina, Telmo Arcanjo

Before that, Iran competed in the CAFA Nations Cup. They beat Afghanistan 3-1, India 3-0, and drew 2-2 with Tajikistan before losing 1-0 to Uzbekistan in the final.

Team Melli have won two of their last five away matches, including two defeats and one draw. They scored eight goals and conceded five.

Iran have been in decent nick lately and are ranked 50 places higher than Cape Verde in the FIFA rankings, giving the edge to come out on top in their Al Ain International Cup clash.
