Pedro Gonçalves, who had already qualified Angola for the African competition, with two rounds to go, made history by becoming the first coach to classify Angola for a CAN finals without any defeat.
The Angolans finished group F at the top, with 14 points, followed by Sudan, with eight - with both teams guaranteeing direct classification - while Niger finished third, with seven, after a victory over Ghana (2-1), which came last with just three points.
The biggest African football tournament is played from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026, in Morocco.
