The World Cup in Germany will be Angola's first and definitely one to savor Another African debutant, Angola hope to take their surprising form from their qualifying group into the World Cup finals to make their first experience of the championships one to remember. World Cup Qualifiers
Angola was the only team from the African Zone's fourth group to get a ticket to the World Cup, pushing a strong Nigerian team into the group's second spot. Angola's success in their sixth World Cup campaign can be put down to their home-pitch potency -- they won all their games at "La Cidadela" Stadium.
Stars Team captain Fabrice Akwa is the Angolan man to watch. The former Benfica Lissabon player, who is now plying his trade in Qatar, was a near-guarantee for Angola's success in the qualification matches. When the pressure was on, Akwa scored his team's deciding goals.
Trainer
The Angolans aren't shy when it comes to honoring their national team coach Luis Oliveira Goncalves, with some fervent fans calling for him to receive a contract for life. Even after failing to reach the African Cup of Nations quarter-finals, Goncalves still enjoys much popular support in the southwest African country.
