Cape Verde Prepare For Their First African Nations Cup

Description:The Cape Verde Islands squad have travelled to Faro in Portugal's Algarve to prepare for their first appearance in soccer's Africa Cup of Nations. With a population of just over 500,000, they will become the smallest country to compete at the competition which starts on January 19 in South Africa. Cape Verde's elimination of four-time winners Cameroon in the final qualifying round ranks as one of the biggest shocks in the tournament's history but it has been on the cards in recent years.
