Cape Verde at the FIFA World Cup
International football delegation
Summary
Cape Verde will appear in the finals of the FIFA World Cup for the first time in 2026. On 13 October 2025, they qualified for the finals for the first time after 3–0 victory over Eswatini. By the time of their qualification, Cape Verde was highlighted as the smallest country by land area and the second least populated country to qualify for the World Cup, with a land area of 4,033 square kilometres (1,557 sq mi) and a population of just under 525,000. However, the qualification of Curaçao a month later meant that Cape Verde would now become the second-smallest country by land area and the third least-populated.

“Country” and “nation” are two different things. “Small” is about size, not about amount.
