Africa-Press – Angola. The former president of the Luanda Provincial Football Association, Domingos José Tomas, said that the National Team of honors must be patient and cautious, in this afternoon’s game (17:00), in Kumasi, against a similar team from Ghana.
The challenge between the two teams is valid for the third round (group E) of qualifying for the final phase of the African Cup of Nations (CAN’2024), to be played in Côte d’Ivoite.
Regarding this match, he said that despite some competitive difference and FIFA Ranking, with the advantage of Black Star (designation of the Ghana selection), Palancas Negras (Angola) are in conditions to face the hosts without fear .
In the FIFA Ranking, Ghana is in 58th place with 1,400.02 points, while Angola is in 117th place with 1,158.81 (pts). In CAF, the Ghanaians are in 11th place, against the 28th position of the Angolans.
“We know that Ghana represented our continent in the best way in the World Championship, in Qatar, but that is already part of another story, so the selection will have to enter without complexes, but with great caution and patience’, he reiterated.
Tomás, who has also presided over the Central Council of Football Referees of Angola (CCAFA), advised a lot of concentration before and during the course of the match, since the two sets have shared objectives, which go through the fight for the isolated leadership of the group and consequently make an important leap towards qualification.
In the event of a tie, regardless of the eventual victory of one of the members of the other Madagascar/RCA group game, Ghana and Angola will continue to share command.
In the leaderboard, both have four points, three more than Madagascar and the Central African Republic (CAR).
Each group in this qualifying tournament will qualify two teams for the final phase.
