Patrice Motsepe, who was in Angola on Friday, on a 24-hour visit, was received by João Lourenço at the presidential palace, and expressed satisfaction with what he heard from the President.
“I liked what I heard from the Angolan head of state, he said that Angola has to win the next CAN, it would be good if all presidents had this challenge” he said.
Motsepe recommended more investment in grassroots football, as he considers that Angola has potential, in terms of talent, and, on the other hand, appealed to Angolan companies to invest in Angolan football, as he believes that the country has enormous potential to increasingly assert itself. more in African football.
“Angola is a country with many talents and I enjoyed listening to João Lourenço’s words. This is good for the development of football in Angola. Football is, perhaps, one of the most interesting sectors to invest in, because it is a business that ends up being profitable, therefore, we call on Angolan companies to invest in the sector,” he said.
In CAN2023, won by the hosts Ivory Coast, the dream of the Angolan football team reaching, for the first time, the semi-finals of the competition ended, after the defeat against Nigeria, in the quarter-finals.
