Cape Verde qualified for the 2021 World Championship after placing fifth in their first participation in the African Championship. But they had to withdraw from the tournament, after not having the minimum of players available, due to several cases of players who tested positive for COVID-19. The team qualified to the 2023 World Championship after beating Angola in the quarterfinals of the African tournament.
