On October 13, 2025, Eswatini’s national team, Sihlangu SeMnikati, will face Cabo Verde in a crucial Group D encounter at Estádio Nacional de Cabo Verde. Kick-off is scheduled for 6:00 PM local time as part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.

Following a resilient 2-2 draw against Angola on October 8, 2025, Acting Head Coach Sifiso “Nuro” Ntibane is urging his squad to build on their recent momentum. Although currently positioned at the bottom of Group D, Sihlangu’s recent performances reflect a growing unity and determination within the team.

Sihlangu is prepared to deliver a strong performance in this final away fixture. Their vibrant showing against Angola demonstrated their capability to create scoring chances and maintain a solid defensive structure, even while holding a 2-0 lead before conceding late goals. Expect a disciplined and compact tactical approach aimed at neutralizing Cabo Verde’s potent attack, with quick transitions designed to catch the hosts off guard. Tactical adjustments have sharpened the team’s cohesion, setting the stage for a competitive clash against a Cabo Verde side eager to secure their maiden FIFA World Cup Finals qualification.
