Cap-VertvsArabie saoudite

Cape Verde meet Saudi Arabia at NRG Stadium on Friday, June 26, 2026, match 63 of the tournament and the final round of group fixtures, where the permutations get ruthless and every goal can swing a place in the Round of 32. Group H sends its top two through automatically, with the eight best third-placed teams across all twelve groups also advancing — so neither side can afford a flat ninety minutes.

Houston provides the stage — was the first NFL stadium built with a retractable roof — vital against Houston’s heat and humidity. Kickoff is 19:00 stadium time (CDT); fans of Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia can check the exact hour back home in the times panel below.
