Libolo denies facing Cuando Cubango for lack of tests for covid-19

Recreativo do Libolo, coached by the Portuguese Paulo Duarte, refused to face Cuando Cubango FC, in a delayed match for the 21st round of the national football championship, due to the covid-19 tests.

:

Cuando Cubango FC came out on the field with the negative results of the covid-19 tests that had already been presented on 1 July.

The Angolan Football Federation justified the fact with the shortage of materials in the province of Bié, guaranteeing that the tests had been carried out on Monday, 5 July.

After Libolo's refusal, new tests were carried out on the spot, with negative results, but the club still maintained its position.

Portuguese coach Paulo Torres justified his team's position by defending the health of his athletes and technical team.

Cuando Cubango, through the board member Adelino Pessela, disapproved of the opposing team's attitude, due to disrespect for the national health authorities.

The game's commissioner, Luís Manuel João, promised that the matter will be dealt with by the FAF's Technical Council.

Recently, Libolo was forced to stop for 20 days due to positive cases of the new coronavirus in the herd.
