The world cup debutants determined to prove nothing is impossible
When the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off on June 11 in Mexico City, it will set in motion a flurry of historic firsts.
A newly expanded 48-team tournament, three countries: the US, Canada and Mexico as hosts and we’ll also get to see four debutants in the shape of Curaçao, Jordan, Uzbekistan and Cape Verde.
It was in October of last year that Cape Verde, the African archipelago nation — with a population of just over half a million people — qualified for its first ever World Cup after beating Eswatini 3-0 to become the third-smallest country after Curaçao and Iceland eight years ago to make it through to football’s biggest stage.
It was a feat made even more impressive by the fact the Blue Sharks ended up four points ahead of traditional continental powerhouse Cameroon, topping their Confederation of African Football qualifying group in the process.
It’s no wonder the team’s head coach Pedro Leitão Brito — better known as Bubista — was beaming with pride when he dropped by the CNN studios in Atlanta recently as part of a visit to Mercedes-Benz stadium, where Cape Verde will begin their World Cup campaign on June 15 against the 2010 winners and reigning European champions, Spain.
“We are so excited. I think the people are so excited and we’re going to do our best for our people,” Bubista — a distinguished former captain and defender on the national team — told CNN Sports.
Bubista oversaw a truly history-making qualifying campaign. A sequence of results that included a highly impressive five straight wins, the highlight of which featured a never-to-be-forgotten 1-0 triumph over the Cameroonians in September 2025.
But it’s October 13, 2025, that will be indelibly etched into the memory of all who witnessed Cape Verde’s historic win against Eswatini. A victory that would spark frenzied celebrations of joy in the country’s capital city Praia.
“Our people are so excited and so happy. Our people in the world, it’s just so great for our qualification and now our people are so grateful for everything,” Bubista added.
Cape Verde may be about to play in a first ever World Cup, but the national team is no stranger to success when it comes to competing in the Africa Cup of Nations having reached the quarterfinals in 2013 and then again, a decade later. Bubista oversaw the latter campaign but now the head coach’s focus is fully on his team’s tournament opener against Spain.
“We know it’s a very difficult match … They have very good players. We will respect them but anything is possible. We’re going to do our best to show the world what we can do in football,” Bubista reflected.
“We know it’s a hard game, but we have our heart and team spirit and this is important for us. Our unity is our strength,” he added.
The Blue Sharks will arrive in the US with a talented squad including Villarreal’s Logan Costa, Paris Saint-Germain 18-year-old Fabio Domingos and 36-year-old Ryan Mendes, who is the country’s most-capped player — with more than 90 appearances for the national team — and is Cape Verde’s all-time leading goalscorer.
And then there’s the remarkable story of the Shamrock Rovers forward Roberto “Pico” Lopes who was born in Ireland, but when it comes to international football, represents Cape Verde, currently ranked 69th in the world.
Lopes had always wanted to play for Ireland but when that didn’t materialize, he ended up playing for his father’shomeland after famously being recruited through a LinkedIn message from then-team head coach Rui Águas. Initially Lopes ignored the first message sent in Portuguese as spam but not the second one sent a few months later in English.

How Will You Get from How Things Are to How Things "Should" Be?
A lot of people get fixated on things that they think "should" happen, but fail to address substantial obstacles in the way. I may even agree with them about what I think "should" happen. But that doesn't mean that it's going to happen. If you're thinking that there is also a danger in being overly cautious or waiting to work out the perfect plan, you're right. That can become a form of procrastination. Acting on an imperfect plan is usually better than waiting until you've worked out every last detail. But at least have some kind of plan that doesn't require a miracle to happen.
The plan that works will also probably not be the plan you started with. You will have to update the plan as you proceed and the situation evolves.
A good model for this process is John Boyd's OODA decision making loop. OODA stands for Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. Actions produce responses that provide new information. New information requires reorientation and new decisions will have to be made that lead to new actions, and the loop repeats.
No big changes happened because a bunch of people sat around complaining about how things "should be."
That's like saying "l should be a millionaire." You could be, but you're going to need some kind of plan to get there that realistically acknowledges the obstacles in your way.
Many of the problems we face today took years to create.
We have inherited a big mess. A lot of things happened that "should not" have happened. Mistakes were made.
But that's life. It's going to throw all kinds of things at you that are sub-optimal. Things you didn't "deserve" or ask for. Cleaning up messes you didn't create is as normal as dealing with bad weather.
Some messes only require a dustpan.
But if you want to clean up a really big mess, you're going to need a plan.
