Brazil 2014 World Cup qualifier - Cape Verde names 21 players for Equatorial Guinea qualifier.


The coach of the Cape Verdian football team, Lucio Antunes, on Wednesday named 21 players for the Group B 2014 World Cup qualifier against Equatorial Guinea.

All but two players Kay (Belenenses) and Tibs (Tondela), who play in the Portuguese football league, played in the last Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2013 in South Africa, when Cape Verde was defeated in the knock-out stages.

The Cape Verdian coach described the list of players as 'continuity and stability in a bid to carry on the job began in the finals of CAN 2013'.

For Cape Verde, the Equatorial Guinea match is decisive, especially as during the first two games in group B, it recorded two 2-1 defeats, one in Freetown to Sierra Leone and at home to Tunisia.
