## Profile

### Dependable Presence Between The Sticks For Cape Verde

## Profile
CJ dos Santos arrives in tournament duty as a 25-year-old goalkeeper representing the United States while attached to Cape Verde Islands, a profile that combines international identity with island football roots[^fact-1]. The role is straightforward: the primary shot-stopper and last line for his side, tasked with handling the bulk of in-game minutes and game-end responsibility[^fact-1].

## Season form
Dos Santos logged 32 appearances across the season, compiling 2,819 minutes on the pitch[^fact-2]. That workload marks him as a regular starter for his team over the campaign, carrying a steady baseline of minutes rather than a rotational profile[^fact-2]. Across those matches his provider rating averaged 6.83, a number that frames performance as reliable but with room for impact moments that swing higher or lower[^fact-3].

## Availability & momentum
Fitness and availability are central to a goalkeeper’s tournament value; dos Santos’s season minutes total indicates sustained selection and availability through the campaign[^fact-2]. The combination of 32 appearances and 2,819 minutes suggests continuity rather than intermittent use, which typically translates into match rhythm and sharpness for a keeper[^fact-2]. No other injury or availability details are provided here; selection status for upcoming fixtures should be inferred from the minutes and appearance load reported this season[^fact-2].

## What to watch
The next fixture for dos Santos is against Spain on 2026-06-15T16:00:00+00:00, a match that will test the shot-stopping baseline reflected in his season rating[^fact-4]. That date and opponent crystallize the immediate challenge: a high-profile match where his 6.83 provider rating will be scrutinized against top-level attacking threats[^fact-3][^fact-4]. Given the accumulation of 2,819 minutes and 32 appearances across the season, expect continuity in selection leading into this fixture unless new information alters the picture[^fact-2].

Overall profile: a 25-year-old goalkeeper with a clear season-long starting remit and an average provider score that reads as solid foundation rather than standout excellence[^fact-1][^fact-3]. The Spain match on 2026-06-15T16:00:00+00:00 will act as the clearest barometer of whether that baseline rating can be upgraded under major-tournament pressure[^fact-4][^fact-3].
