As Cape Verde prepares to face defending champions Argentina and Lionel Messi in the FIFA World Cup knockout stage this Friday in Miami, specialist tour operator Cape Verde Experience is encouraging agents and customers to capitalise on growing interest in the destination with a limited-time £100 booking incentive.

The match, kicking off at 11pm UK time, marks a historic moment for Cape Verde as one of the smallest nations ever to reach the knockout stages of world football, putting the Atlantic archipelago in front of a global audience.
While the spotlight will be on the pitch in Miami, Cape Verde Experience is highlighting the destination’s appeal beyond football. The islands are known for their volcanic landscapes, year-round sunshine, music and culture, alongside miles of golden and white-sand beaches. Sal and Boa Vista offer excellent conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing, while islands such as Santiago and São Vicente provide dramatic coastlines, authentic culture and walking opportunities.

Karen Durham, Product Manager at Cape Verde Experience, said:
“This is more than a football match – it’s a global moment where Cape Verde is being seen on the world stage like never before.

“We’re encouraging holidaymakers to discover the islands behind the team and giving them an extra incentive to book while Cape Verde is firmly in the spotlight.”

To coincide with the knockout match, Cape Verde Experience is offering £100 off per booking on island holidays with its limited-time ‘Match Week Escape’ promotion. The offer is available until midnight on Monday 6 July using the code WORLDCUP100.
The operator believes the team’s success is likely to raise awareness of Cape Verde among UK travellers, creating fresh opportunities for agents to introduce customers to a destination that combines beach holidays with culture, nature and adventure.

Durham added:
“Win or lose, millions of people will be watching Cape Verde this week. Our expert team is ready to help holidaymakers turn that curiosity into unforgettable island experiences that showcase the diversity, beauty and unique appeal of this remarkable archipelago.”

Cape Verde Experience offers ATOL-protected holidays and tailor-made itineraries across eight of Cape Verde’s ten islands.
