Cape Verde: Bettencourt unveils his first squad for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers

After being appointed as Bubista’s successor at the helm of Cape Verde, coach Humberto Bettencourt unveiled his squad on Friday, September 18, for the first two matches of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Continuity after the historic World Cup appearance

At the start of this campaign, the coach called up 26 players. There is no revolution compared with the group that made history during the last World Cup, with the core of the squad retained. Only two new players are worth mentioning. Ayoni dos Santos and José Tavares will make their first appearances for the Blue Sharks. *

Mali, then Rwanda, on the schedule

The schedule looks set to be challenging. Cape Verde will begin its campaign with a risky trip to Mali on September 25, before hosting Rwanda on September 29 in its first home match of these 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
