Through social media, the president admitted that the players made mistakes, but expressed confidence in winning the next edition of the competition.
"In this CAN we did well, but we need to improve, and learn from our mistakes. Don't get discouraged. The next CAN will be ours, we only depend on all of us, the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the FAF, the 'Palancas Negras' and all the Angolan fans", he wrote.
The dream of the Angolan football team, led by Portuguese coach Pedro Gonçalves, to reach, for the first time, the semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations (CAN2023) ended on Friday, after losing to Nigeria, led by José Peseiro, by 1-0, in Abidjan.
