Who will referee Spain vs Cape Verde FIFA World Cup 2026 match?

Spain are Cape Verde are drawn in Group H of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

Spain are set to start their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign against Cape Verde on Monday, June 15, at the Atlanta Stadium. With Mikel Oyarzabal and Ferran Torres in the attack, backed by the versatility of Rodri, Pedri and Fabian Ruiz, La Roja looks destined to score.

It’s safe to say that the Spanish side looks strong despite missing Fermin Lopez and the likes of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams being half-fit for the campaign.

However, history isn’t actually in La Roja’s favour. Since winning the coveted title in 2010, they have never won a single knockout game in the FIFA World Cup. In addition, they have a terrible penalty shoot-out record, winning only one of the five they have played. Nevertheless, coming to North America, Spain are riding an unbeaten wave of ten games.

On the other side, Bubista’s Cape Verde has nothing to lose. They are making their FIFA World Cup debut and have recently defeated Serbia 3-0, while holding Iran, Egypt and Finland to draws. While WR #2 Spain are the favourite, WR #69 Cape Verde are heavy underdog.

Cape Verde defender Logan Costa has experience playing in LaLiga with Villarreal; meanwhile, Yannick Semedo and Wagner Pina are also players whose skill sets are worth looking up to in the game.
