Georgia and Cape Verde Face Off in Exciting Friendly Match

Kutaisi, Georgia — Georgia will play against Cape Verde in a friendly match on June 8, 2025, at 5 PM local time. This friendly is part of both teams’ preparations ahead of their World Cup qualifying campaigns, which begin in September.

Georgia is coming off an impressive series of results, having recently won over Armenia 6-1 in a Nations League playoff and also secured a narrow 1-0 victory against the Faroe Islands. Their coach, who is focused on building momentum, may experiment with the lineup, leaving out some key players due to injuries, including a Champions League winner.

“We want to maintain our form and confidence as we look forward to the qualifiers. Testing out new strategies in friendlies is important,” said a spokesperson for Georgia’s squad.

On the other hand, Cape Verde has had a strong beginning to 2025. The team won three out of four matches this year, including two in World Cup qualifying. They come into this game after defeating Malaysia 3-0, a win that has boosted their morale.

The coach of Cape Verde noted, “Every match is a chance for us to grow as a team. Facing Georgia will be a good test.” Cape Verde will be looking to maintain their unbeaten streak and add another positive result ahead of their qualifiers.

Both teams have shown solid performances in their respective international windows, and each is eyeing a win in what is their first encounter. Georgia has a strong home advantage, boasting six wins, three draws, and just one loss in their last ten home internationals.

Fans expect an exciting game, as both teams aim to test their strategies and cohesion before the critical qualifying matches. The starting lineups for both teams will be announced shortly before kickoff.
