Cape Verde Coach Bubista: 'We Represent All Africa' After Stunning World Cup Debut
Cape Verde manager Bubista believes his team’s first World Cup appearance can inspire a new generation of African dreamers. He says their debut campaign shows that no nation is too small to compete on football’s biggest stage. The Blue Sharks surprised everyone by holding reigning European champions Spain to a 0-0 draw. That defensive masterclass underlines Bubista’s message that his players carry the hopes of an entire continent. Veteran goalkeeper Vozinha earned Player of the Match honours and even saw help arranged for his mother’s visa so she could support him. With his family now at the tournament, Bubista says Cape Verde will play more offensively in upcoming matches against Uruguay and Saudi Arabia.
