Angola: Ex-Skipper of National Soccer Team Draws Attention in Benguela

Luanda — In full visit carried out by the inspectors of the African Confederation of Football (CAF), led by its chairperson, Issa Hayatou, the former captain of the Angolan football team, Fabricio Maieco "Akwá", drew the public attention during the survey, held Saturday in Benguela Stadium.

However, the attention to the former "Palanca Negras" athlete started during a pause for lunch in the Luso Hotel, prepared to host CAN. The player was greeted by passers-by and received special affection by the employees of the establishment.

But the highest point of the current MP of National Assembly was when the visiting team reached the stadium from where a group of children shouted in his name, something that drew the attention of everyone, including CAF members.

The athlete who scored the goal that qualified the country for the first time to a final phase of World Cup waved to his fans, took pictures and reaffirmed his intention to leave the national team during a farewell match before the African Cup to be held in Angola.
