O Cape Verdean government granted point tolerance for this afternoon to allow the public to follow the game of the national football team in front of Liberia, qualifying for the 2027 African Nations Cup (CAN) on Beach.
According to a resolution adopted by the Council of Ministers on Thursday and published today, the measure covers officials and agents of the State, public institutions and local authorities – security forces, health services, among others considered essential, are excluded.
The game between Cape Verde and Liberia is scheduled for 15:00 (17:00 in Lisbon), at the National Stadium, in the city of Praia, and is considered by the Government “decisive to the aspirations of qualification of the Cape Verdean team for the final phase of the competition”.
In the resolution, the executive calls for the support of Cape Verdeans to the selection, recalling the “pride and emotion” generated by the country’s historic participation in the 2026 World Football Championship.
In qualifying for CAN 2027, both Cape Verde and Liberia lost the two games they have already played in the K Group qualifying for the final phase of the African competition – the group is led by Rwanda and Mali, both with six points.
