Cape Verde national team
No call-up for the September–October 2026 international break has been verified from a federation source yet, so the game deals Cape Verde’s World Cup 2026 squad until one is.
When a squad for the break can be verified from the federation’s own announcement, this page lists it, and the game deals it. Until then, this is the squad Cape Verde named for the 2026 World Cup, as the game deals it now.
