After the United States and the Czech Republic, packages even before the start of the World Cup in Egypt because of too high a number of Covid-19 cases in their ranks, it is Cape Verde's turn to take sick leave .

The Cape Verdean selection has in fact only nine qualified players after many positive cases.

It must be said that the selection of the Atlantic archipelago had arrived with only eleven players in Cairo - for comparison the French are sixteen -, played a match against Hungary (34-27 defeat) before two additional players do not test positive for coronavirus.

However, according to the rules decreed by the IHF, at least ten players are required to be able to participate.
