After winning all the games without conceding a goal in the qualifying phase, Santa Rita de Cássia will return to the first division.

ASK Dragão will make its debut in the national championship. The team managed to qualify after the Angolan Football Federation disqualified Malanje Sport Club and Baixa de Cassanje due to irregularities in the match of the 10th and final round of the series A, writes Angop.

It should be noted that the double representation of the province of Uíge in Girabola takes place 40 years after such a feat took place: the last time the province was represented with two teams in the championship was in 1981, in which FC Clube do Uíge and the Uíge Constructors (emblems that are now extinct).

Speaking to Angop, Armindo Afonso Arruda, president of ASK Dragão, informed that the administrative and financial conditions for participating in the competition are being created,

In order to remain in the championship, the official indicated measures such as the rehabilitation of the headquarters as well as the hiring of players, however, he did not advance with any values.

He also took the opportunity to mention that half of the players on the team – made up of 28 athletes – ensured the qualification and that the rest will be hired from the national teams.

The management of Santa Rita, according to Angop, continues to look for new sponsors, aiming at the balance of the club and, thus, ensuring a favorable classification in the national championship.
