History of Angolan Football
Angola played their first game on February 8, 1976, against Congo. They lost that match 3-2. On June 26, 1977, Cuba became the first team from outside Africa that Angola played against. Angola won that game 1-0.
Angola first tried to qualify for the FIFA World Cup in 1986. They beat Senegal in the first round. However, they lost to Algeria in the second round.
Africa Cup of Nations Journeys
Angola played in their first Africa Cup of Nations in 1996. They were in a tough group with South Africa, Egypt, and Cameroon. They didn't make it past the first round.
They qualified again in 1998 but also didn't reach the second round. They had two draws and one loss in their group games.
After missing three tournaments, Angola returned to the Africa Cup of Nations in 2006. They won their first ever AFCON game, beating Togo 3-2. Two goals were scored by Flávio.
Angola's best performance in the Africa Cup of Nations was in 2008. They drew with Tunisia and South Africa. Then, they beat Senegal 3-1, with two goals from Manucho. They reached the quarter-finals but lost to Egypt 2-1. Manucho scored again, finishing with four goals in the tournament.
Angola also hosted the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations. They reached the quarter-finals but were knocked out by Ghana.
Winning the COSAFA Cup
Angola has also been very successful in the COSAFA Cup, a tournament for teams in Southern Africa. They won the COSAFA Cup in 1999, 2001, 2004, and recently in 2024!
Angola at the 2006 FIFA World Cup
Angola made history by qualifying for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. They only lost one game during the qualification matches, finishing ahead of strong teams like Nigeria.
Before the World Cup, Angola's coach, Pedro Gonçalves, even got advice from famous coach José Mourinho. Angola's best players, often called their Golden Generation, were part of the team. These included Akwá, João Ricardo, and Flávio.
In their first World Cup game, Angola played against Portugal. Portugal won 1-0. The atmosphere was very friendly because of the close ties between Angola and Portugal. Angola then drew 0-0 with Mexico. In their final group game, they drew 1-1 with Iran. Even though they only lost one game, Angola was eliminated from the tournament.
Trying for the 2010 World Cup
After the 2006 World Cup, many experienced players like Akwá retired. Even so, people hoped Angola would qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Angola did well in the first two rounds of qualification. However, they missed out on the final round by just two points.
