Cabo Verde
Manager: Pedro Leitão Brito
Cape Verde will be embarking on a journey into the unknown this summer - but the Blue Sharks' rivals in Group H should not underestimate them. Bubista's side earned a memorable win over Cameroon during qualifying and their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations campaign was brought to an end by only a sensational penalty-shootout performance from South Africa goalkeeper Ronwen Williams, who saved four penalties. This is not a squad of household names - Swansea centre-back Ricardo Santos is perhaps their most recognisable player - but they have shown before that they can frustrate a bigger nation, so a draw against one of Saudi Arabia and Uruguay is possible.
