Cabral’s Rise: Low Wages, Racism And A Dream That Never Died
Meanwhile, Cabral’s journey to the World Cup wasn’t without struggles. He was born in the Netherlands to Cape Verdean parents and later chose to represent Cape Verde internationally. His football career began at Twente’s academy before he moved to a Swedish club, Helsingborg. In 2022, he joined German fifth-division side Rot-Weiss Erfurt. However, the club only had basic facilities, and Cabral earned just £850 a month.
