2006 WORLD CUP TEAMS
Angola at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany
At their sixth attempt, Angola have finally succeeded in qualifying for a FIFA World Cup finals. Having first lined up to compete for a place at football’s global gathering on a July night in 1984 – in the preliminary competition for Mexico 86 – the Angolan national team’s longing has finally been satisfied after 21 years as they go to Germany for the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
Drawn in Group 4 of the African Zone at the FIFA World Cup tournament bracket, Angola narrowly succeeded in snatching the sole ticket from beneath the noses of the all-powerful Nigerians.
What is more, the manner in which ‘Professor’ Luis Oliveira Goncalves’ charges negotiated their path to Germany was marked by great team spirit and resilience.
Angola is ready to wage war on the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
