The Minister, as in the two previous meetings, explained that the infrastructure has been revamped during his term, mentioning as an example, the stadiums under construction in the provinces of Uíge and Huambo, one of which will be inaugurated this year and the other in 2026.
He was flanked by the Secretary of State for Sports Policies, Paulo Madeira, and stated that both venues will be equipped with an athletics track (tartan), as will the 11 de Novembro Stadium, due to the manipulation of the original installation.
Rui Falcão stated that the venue, built for the 2010 African Cup of Nations, held in the country, should be refurbished to make it more attractive.
Regarding the Cidadela stadium, he said that the transfer of management to the new manager, the National Oil Company (Sonangol), is dependent on a space where the federations will be operating within the compound, in addition to the Angolan Paralympic Committee (CPA), as well as taking account that the new headquarters of the Angolan Olympic Committee (COA) will be inaugurated soon.
