Cape Verde national football team is about to experience one of the most significant moments in sports history, competing in the FIFA World Cup in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The team's coach, Bubista, speaks of the pride of representing the country and the resilience of the Cape Verdean people. What is the feeling of Cape Verde after this qualification for the World Cup? It is a feeling of great pride and great emotion. This qualification represents a lot for our people. I usually say that we are a small country, in geographical terms, but with a lot of dignity, a lot of work, and a huge capacity for resilience. The players are prepared for this challenge? They have to be prepared. When we talk to them, we feel that they want to contribute to making Cape Verde more known in the world. They want to do it with dignity, professionalism, and a spirit of fraternity. The team will face Spain, a very strong selection that has already been world champion. Is it an opponent that commands respect? Without a doubt. All the teams in our group are very strong. Uruguay has also been a world champion. Saudi Arabia is the Asian champion and has invested heavily in the development of football. It is up to us to do our part: to be tactically organized, disciplined, and competitive. We also have our own weapons. We will try to be strong mentally to face the difficulties that the games will certainly pose to us. We will face all opponents with dignity, confidence, and without fear. The fact that Cape Verde is participating in the World Cup may make young Cape Verdeans even more interested in football? That interest already exists, especially among our young people and among the children of emigrants who were born outside the country and who are very enthusiastic about this qualification. Naturally, being in the World Cup increases that enthusiasm even more. Young people realize that there is a possibility of reaching the biggest stages of world football. It was the union of our people that allowed us to reach this level. Seeing our flag alongside the greatest powers of world football is priceless. This qualification is much more than football. It has a special meaning for our country. Today, many young people dream of representing the national team, and that is something of enormous value. We are working to make that happen. We are doing our best to make our team a reference for our country. We will fight to make our presence in the World Cup a success. And we will do it with dignity, professionalism, and a spirit of fraternity. Coach Bubista is confident in the team and the players. He knows that we have a strong and talented group. And he knows that we can do great things. We will see what happens. We will fight to make our presence in the World Cup a success. And we will do it with dignity, professionalism, and a spirit of fraternity. The team is prepared for the challenge. We are ready to face the best in the world. And we will do it with pride and determination. The World Cup is a dream for many players. And now, that dream is a reality for the Cape Verde national football team. We will make the most of this opportunity. And we will do it with dignity, professionalism, and a spirit of fraternity.
