| 8 seconds ago
As Cape Verde prepare to take on cup holders Argentina on Friday night in the Round of 32 of the ongoing World Cup in North America, football aficionados surprised at the good runs of the Blue Sharks have been told not to look any further.
Gelson Fernandes, FIFA Deputy Director in-charge of Members Associations, Regional Director – Africa, insisted yesterday that the massive support that Cape Verde has enjoyed from FIFA is what is driving the growth of the game in the country.
Fernandes is not new to Cape Verde. He understands the country like the back of his hands. He was born there before his parents moved to Switzerland aged just five years.
