Former Qarabag midfielder Leandro Andrade has been called up to Cape Verde’s national team for the first time in three years. The 27-year-old will be in the squad for two matches against Liberia in the qualifying stage for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
Andrade last played for the national team in November 2023, while he was with Qarabag. He has made seven appearances for Cape Verde to date.
The midfielder has featured in 12 matches for Polissya in all competitions this season, scoring three goals and providing the same number of assists.
Cape Verde made a difficult start to qualifying, losing their first two matches 3-1 to Mali and 2-1 to Rwanda.
Andrade joined Polissya from Qarabag in the summer of 2026. During his time with the Aghdam club, he won the Azerbaijani championship four times and the national cup twice.
