Cape Verde vs South Africa: preview
The Cape Verde vs South Africa live stream is a rather unexpected AFCON 2023 quarter-final. It sees one of the teams of the tournament meet a side who caused a shock in the last round
Cape Verde stunned everyone by topping a group that contained Egypt and Ghana. It earned them a Round of 16 tie against Mauritania, which they won 1-0. South Africa also caused a shock by knocking out World Cup semi-finalists Morocco in the last round.
There are not a host of players well-known beyond Africa in this tie. Most of the Bafana Bafana side play in their country's domestic league. Bebe, formerly of Man Utd, and Sporting’s Jovane Cabral are the most high-profile Blue Sharks players.
This is only the fourth time Cape Verde have qualified for Africa Cup of Nations. South Africa, meanwhile, have not made it to the semi-final stage since 2000. Neither will want to waste a hard-earned opportunity to make into the final four, so this could be a tense affair. That said, the sides have scored a combined 14 goals in four games so far in this tournament so will not be shot shy.
In this guide, we explain how to get a Cape Verde vs South Africa live stream and watch the Africa Cup of Nations 2023, with the help of a VPN if you're away traveling at the moment.
