Cape Verde, the sensation of the 2026 World Cup
The whole world discovered Cape Verde in 2026. The Blue Sharks' historic qualification for the World Cup — the country's first ever, and one of the greatest feats by a nation of half a million people — put the archipelago on everyone's lips. Images of the islands, the warmth ('morabeza') of the Cape Verdean people and the diaspora celebrations from Lisbon to Boston travelled around the planet.
That visibility is more than football: it is the calling card of a stable, safe and growing country — a consolidated democracy, a currency pegged to the euro (1 € = 110.265 CVE), expanding tourism and a diaspora investing back home. The international attention is already translating into more flights, more tourism and more property demand. If the World Cup sparked your curiosity about Cape Verde, this is the moment to discover its property market — Homescape Verde supports buyers from all over the world, in person or remotely.

Frequently asked questions
Why did Cape Verde become famous at the 2026 World Cup?+
The national team, the Blue Sharks, qualified for a World Cup for the first time in history — becoming one of the smallest countries ever to do so. The celebrations at home and across the diaspora travelled the world and put the archipelago on the global media map.
Did the World Cup impact Cape Verde's property market?+
The global media exposure boosted tourism and investment interest. More visibility means more flights, more visitors and more demand for accommodation and property — a cycle that has historically driven local real-estate appreciation.
I discovered Cape Verde through the World Cup. Can I buy a home there as a foreigner?+
Yes, with no restrictions. Foreigners buy property in Cape Verde through the same process as nationals, and the escudo is pegged to the euro, so there is no currency risk. Homescape Verde supports the whole process, including remote purchases.
