Cape Verde will aim to write another chapter in their FIFA World Cup 2026 fairytale as they take on Saudi Arabia in their final Group H fixture – and you can live stream the game around the world for free.
The Blue Sharks, and 40-year-old goalkeeper Vozinha, have been one of the feel-good stories of the tournament. After holding Euro 2024 champions Spain to a stalemate in their first-ever World Cup game, Bubista's boys went toe-to-toe with two-time winners Uruguay and secured a deserved 2-2 draw, with Kevin Pina and Helio Varela scoring the archipelago's first goals at the finals. It means a nation with a population of just 530,000 people has a realistic chance of reaching the knockout stage. A win over Saudi Arabia in Houston would seal a last-32 spot, while a draw would put them in the mix as one of the best third-place teams.
Saudi Arabia also know that a victory should be enough, despite heading into the final round of matches sitting bottom of Group H with just one point. The Green Falcons were the victims of bad timing as they ran into a Spain side smarting from their goalless draw with Cape Verde last time out, falling to a convincing 4-0 defeat. They will hope that La Roja take that form into their clash with Uruguay, which kicks off at the same time as this one, as a win for the Saudis, coupled with the South Americans dropping points, would see Georgios Donis' side finish runners-up. Anything but a victory, though, and they will be going home.
