The announcement was made by the president of the FAF, Fernando Alves Simões, who is in Buenos Aires, where he met with the president of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Cláudio Tapia.
“While we were meeting, president Cláudio spoke to Messi, and Messi remembered that they had already faced Angola in 2006 [before the 2006 World Cup, also in a friendly match in Italy, which the South Americans won 2-0]. I think he will also be happy to be in Angola for this game. So far everything is going well, we believe that Argentina will be in Angola with its best players. We will continue to prepare everything”, said the Angolan leader.
The game, which has not yet been scheduled, will be played at the 11 de Novembro Stadium in Luanda, as part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the independence of the Republic of Angola, which will be celebrated on 11 November.
