Welcome thousands of Cape Verdean footballers after an amazing World Cup tournament

Cape Verde’s football team has been welcomed by tens of thousands of fans following their historic run at the World Cup.

The Blue Sharks flew to the capital city of Praia on Sunday after being knocked out of the tournament in a thrilling match against champions Argentina.

Revelers turned the airport grounds into a carnival, beating drums, dancing, singing and waving national flags.

“It’s a great moment to be here with our people,” goalkeeper Vozinha, who caught the world’s attention in the match, told the BBC.
