Cape Verde National Team

The captain of Sport Lisboa e Benfica's handball team, Paulo Moreno, and Leandro Semedo, the most recent signing of the Eagles, contributed to the historic participation of the Cape Verdean national team in the CAN.

With one win and one defeat in group C, against Nigeria and Tunisia, respectively, the team led by Ljubomir Obradovic advanced to the quarterfinals, where it beat Angola by 23-24 and guaranteed its presence in the 2023 World Cup.

For the first time in the semi-finals of a continental competition, the blue sharks got the better of Morocco (victory by 23-19) with Leandro Semedo in evidence. The new addition to Benfica's left side was voted man of the match and was even chosen for the best team of the competition.
