elcome to Sportstar’s LIVE coverage of the 10th match of the FIFA World Cup 2026, featuring Spain and World Cup debutant Cape Verde, set to be played at Atlanta Stadium. Spain enters the tournament as one of the favourites after winning Euro 2024, while Cape Verde begins its first-ever World Cup campaign on football’s biggest stage. Jayantho Sengupta will take you through pre-match and minute-by-minute updates from this Group H clash.
It is the first time Spain will be taking on Cape Verde
Playing XI:
Spain (4-3-3):
Unai Simon, Marcos Llorente, Aymeric Laporte, Pau Cubarsi, Marc Cucurella, Fabian Ruiz, Gavi, Rodri (C), Pedri, Ferran Torres, Mikel Oyarzabal
Cape Verde (4-2-3-1):
Vozinha, Diney Borges, Pico Lopes, Sidny Lopes Cabral, Steven Moreira, Kevin Pina, Jovane Cabral, Jamiro Monteiro, Laros Duarte, Dailon Livramento, Ryan Mendes (C)
Where or how to watch Spain vs Cape Verde in FIFA World Cup 2026?
India: June 15, 9:30 pm IST; live on ZEE5 and Unite8 Sports TV channels.
USA: June 15, 12:00 pm ET; live on FOX in English, and Telemundo/Universo and Peacock in Spanish.

Spain’s strength is not just in the XI it has put out, but in the quality still waiting on the bench. David Raya, Pedro Porro, Martin Zubimendi, Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal are not reserve-level names. In many teams at this World Cup, they would be automatic starters. For Spain, they are options to change the game once legs begin to tire and spaces begin to open. That depth could matter more than ever in this expanded World Cup, where travel, heat, quick turnarounds and squad rotation will test every contender. The best team on paper may not always go the farthest. The team with the deepest bench might.
For teams such as Curacao and Cape Verde, a World Cup debut is not just another fixture on the calendar. It is a national moment, the kind that travels far beyond the pitch and into homes, streets and communities that waited years to see their flag on this stage. Curacao had its first taste of that feeling yesterday, even if the result against Germany showed the scale of the step up. Today, Cape Verde gets its turn in Atlanta, and the opponent could hardly be bigger: Spain, the European champion. For Cape Verde’s players and fans, this is the start of a story that once felt distant. The first anthem, the first kick, the first attack and even the first difficult spell will all carry meaning. At the World Cup, debutants do not arrive only to make up the numbers. They arrive carrying a country’s dream.

Iran’s national football team was headed to Turkey on Monday to play a final friendly match before flying to the United States for the 2026 World Cup, the country’s media reported.
“The Iranian national football team… departed this morning for Antalya, Turkey, to play its final friendly match before flying to the United States for the 2026 World Cup,” the Tasnim news agency reported.
It said the squad consisted of 22 domestic-based players alongside their coaching staff.
On Saturday, head coach Amir Ghalenoei said they would also be completing visa applications for the US while in Turkey.
The team’s participation in the 2026 World Cup, co-hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada, comes amid a fragile ceasefire between Iran and the US which paused 40 days of war that began on February 28.
The US cut diplomatic ties with Iran in 1980 following the Islamic Revolution and the hostage crisis at the American embassy.
Iran hopes to play two friendlies in Antalya.
The side has already confirmed one match, against Gambia, on May 29, said Sam Mehdizadeh, an Iranian-Canadian who heads a company that sets up friendlies for the team.

“No visas have been issued yet,” Mehdi Taj, the Iran football federation head, told Iranian media on Thursday.
Taj said players were expected to undergo fingerprinting in Turkey as part of the visa process but wished to avoid a trip of more than 380 kilometres from Antalya to Ankara.
On Saturday, FIFA secretary general Mattias Grafstrom held a meeting in Turkey with the Iranian federation, describing it as excellent and constructive.
Taj also described Saturday’s meeting as “positive and constructive” without going into details.
When the squad reaches the United States, Iran will set up its base camp in Tucson, Arizona.
The team, which is in Group G, is due to kick off its World Cup campaign against New Zealand in Los Angeles on June 15 before facing Belgium in the same city and then Egypt in Seattle.

South Africa plans to arrive in Mexico almost a fortnight before the opening game of the World Cup in order to acclimatise to the altitude, coach Hugo Broos said. Co-host Mexico opens the tournament on June 11 with a Group A match against South Africa at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, which is 2,200m (7,216 feet) above sea level.
While most of the South African players are based at clubs in Johannesburg, which has an altitude of 1,753m, Broos says his squad needs time to adjust to the conditions in Mexico before the opening game.
The squad will travel on May 30 to their base in Pachuca, which is around 200 metres higher than Mexico City. The city is less than 100 km from Mexico City.
“The first days it will be difficult to train at 100 per cent because of the altitude, so that is what we will do in the second week,” Broos said in a radio interview.

South Africa plans to take on Nicaragua at home in a friendly on May 29, although this is not confirmed, and is negotiating to have Puerto Rico as a warm-up opponent for a second international scrimmage in Pachuca. In its other World Cup group matches, South Africa will meet the Czech Republic in Atlanta on June 18 and South Korea in Monterrey on June 24, seeking to advance past the first round for the first time in its fourth World Cup appearance.
“It’s not an easy group for us. First of all, we will face the host in the opening game, at the Azteca Stadium, and it will be very difficult for us there,” Broos said earlier in the year. But the veteran coach, who played for semifinalist Belgium at the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, has also previously predicted his side could cause some upsets at the tournament, which is also being played in Canada and the U.S.
South Africa and Mexico drew 1-1 at Soccer City in Johannesburg in the opening game of the 2010 World Cup, which South Africa hosted.
