Its greatest accomplishment was the bronze medal at the AfroBasket 2007, where Cape Verde beat Egypt in its last game.

On 26 February 2023, Cape Verde qualified for their first-ever World Cup when they claimed their ticket to the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.[2] The country became the smallest nation to ever qualify for a World Cup, breaking a record that was held by Montenegro.[3]
