Besides the aging global football idols, the match will also feature other Portuguese speaking stars, Portugal’s Luis Figo, Rui Costa, Brazilian Romario, Ronaldinho, Joao Pinto and Victor Baia among others.
These together with Pele and Eusebio will play against an Angolan side of former greats, Akwa, Loth, Mendinho, Abel Campos, Amaral Aleixo and Paulao, all former Black Panthers.

“Our goal is to encourage the practice of sports in Angola, of football in particular.
It’s a Nations Cup tournament side-kick which we want to use to pay tribute to Angolan Sport and to those athletes who have put great efforts on bringing the name, the colors and the hymn of our country across the national borders,” read a statement from the official sponsors, Savings and Credits Bank (BPC).

Ronaldinho has so much talent, it’s really disappointing to see him in the doldrums with his game.
