In the early hours of June 16th, the first surprise of the 2026 World Cup emerged: Cabo Verde. Few expected that this "tiny team," making its world debut, would bravely hold the "giant" Spain to a 0-0 draw.

Watching the performance of the two teams, Mr. Tran Viet Khanh (Hoa Xuan ward) said: “Before taking historic strides on the Mercedes-Benz Stadium (USA), Cabo Verde had previously defeated the “Indomitable Lions” of Cameroon to qualify for the World Cup.

However, the first point scored by a team with a population of just over 600,000 in the Finals defied all expectations. That's what makes me so excited about this World Cup. When a small team like Cabo Verde breaks free from its role as a "filler" and becomes a "spoiler," the World Cup will be even more exciting in the future."
