Spain vs. Cabo Verde Lineups, Score, Live Streaming, How and Where to Watch On TV In USA & Other Countries
Spain kick off their 2026 World Cup journey in Group H against Cabo Verde, who are making their first-ever appearance at the tournament. The match takes place at the Atlanta Stadium, also known as Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
La Roja will be aiming for a good start after disappointing results in recent editions of the World Cups. They reached the last 16 in both 2018 and 2022, but crashed out in the group stage back in 2014.
Luis de la Fuente has some seriously talented players in the squad with stars like Lamine Yamal, Rodri, and Nico Williams are set to play big roles as Spain look to go deep into the competition.
Cabo Verde, on the other hand, are the newcomers but are coming off solid results in the pre World Cup friendlies. This included a 3-0 win over Serbia and another 3-0 victory against Bermuda on June 6.
Head coach Bubista knows the challenge of facing the former world champions. That said, Cabo Verde still have a real chance of getting out of the group if they can hold their own and pick up results against Saudi Arabia and Uruguay, the other two teams in Group H.
This will be the first ever encounter between the two teams.
