Cape Verde and Rwanda meet in key Group K clash in 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying

Cape Verde host Rwanda on Tuesday, 29 September, in the second round of Group K matches in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Kick-off is scheduled for 12h00 GMT.

The fixture is an important early test for both sides as they look to strengthen their position in a group in which Mali and Cape Verde are regarded as the leading contenders.

Cape Verde will have the match shown by national broadcaster RTC (Radio Televisao Cabo-verdiana), which regularly covers the Blue Sharks’ home fixtures.

In Rwanda, the Amavubi can generally rely on coverage from the country’s national television broadcaster. The game is also available through the pan-African and regional services carrying matches from this qualifying campaign.

For viewers in sub-Saharan Africa, the match will be broadcast on CANAL+ Sport. In the Middle East and North Africa, it will be available on beIN Sports and beIN Connect, as well as through the TOD application.

The second matchday could prove significant in shaping the early standings in Group K. Cape Verde enter the campaign after securing a historic first qualification for the World Cup, while Mali are considered the other leading force in the section.
