Africa-Press – Angola. <\/strong><\/span>The President of the Republic, Joa\u0303o Lourenc\u0327o, paid tribute Wednesday, to basketball player A\u0302ngelo Victoriano, who died on Saturday, in Luanda, due to illness.<\/b><\/p>\n

At the Cidadela Desportiva Pavilion, where A\u0302ngelo Vitoriano’s remains are being laid to rest, the Head of State laid a wreath of flowers next to the urn of the deceased, greeted the family and signed the book of condolences.<\/p>\n

In the condolence book, Joa\u0303o Lourenc\u0327o expressed \u201cdeep pain and extended his heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, on behalf of himself, his family and the Angolan Executive\u201d.<\/p>\n

The remains of the eight-time African basketball champion will be buried this Wednesday, at the Santa Ana Cemetery.<\/p>\n

A\u0302ngelo Victoriano, remember, was distinguished in August 2023 by FIBA \u200b\u200bWorld for the achievements achieved with the National Team in different international competitions.<\/p>\n

He became the second Angolan to earn this “FIBA Hall of Fame” distinction, after Jean-Jacques da Conceic\u0327a\u0303o, former center forward, also from 1o de Agosto, in 2013.<\/p>\n

He was also the only African basketball player to win eight FIBA \u200b\u200bAfrican championships, surpassing Jean Jacques da Conceic\u0327a\u0303o and Carlos Almeida, both with seven titles each.<\/p>\n

A\u0302ngelo Monteiro dos Santos Victoriano, older brother of former basketball players Edmar Victoriano (Baduna) and Puna Victoriano, was born in Bairro Marc\u0327al, in Luanda, on February 8, 1968.<\/p>\n

He began his sporting career in 1982, at the age of 14. He transferred to Petro de Luanda at 16, having been called up to the junior National Team for the African Cup of Nations held in Maputo (Mozambique).<\/p>\n

During his career, the former winger won four national champion titles with the \u201ctricolores\u201d, six with the \u201cmilitaries\u201d of Rio Seco, one with Atle\u0301tico Sport Aviac\u0327a\u0303o (ASA) and the same number with Queluz de Portugal.<\/p>\n

With the 1.o de Agosto team he also won three trophies from African clubs, while with the National Senior Team he won eight African titles (1989, 1991, 1993, 1995, 1999, 2001, 2003 and 2005).<\/p>\n

He made his debut at the World Championship in Argentina in 1990, followed by appearances in editions held in Canada (1994) and the United States of America (1998).<\/p>\n

A\u0302ngelo Victoriano also competed in the Olympic Games in Barcelona (Spain) in 1992, Atlanta (USA) in 1996, Sydney (Australia) in 2000, and Athens in Greece in 2004.<\/p>\n

In 2009 he became an assistant coach in the formation of Clube Desportivo 1o de Agosto.<\/p>\n
