The AFCON 2023 quarter-finals showdown, the Angolan football squad is riding high on a wave of promises and incentives.
Banco Keve has vowed to shower each player with a handsome $9,600 should they triumph over Nigeria, while the stakes are raised even higher with Social EP, an Angolan diamond company, pledging a whopping $250,000 team bonus in the event of victory.
However, confidence resonates from Angolan player Gilberto, who boldly declares their imminent conquest over the Super Eagles, dismissing any notion of threat.
The financial encouragement doesn’t end there, as Angolan bank BAI commemorates the team’s stellar 3-0 victory against Namibia in the Round of 16 by awarding each player a substantial $6,000.
Adding a touch of luxury to the celebration, telecoms giant UNITEL further sweetens the deal by gifting each player the latest iPhone 15 models.
As the AFCON 2023 unfolds, Angola’s recent performances have showcased their football prowess:
Angola 3 Vs Namibia 0
Angola 2 Vs Burkina Faso 0
Mauritania 2 Vs Angola 3
Algeria 1 Vs Angola 1
Mauritius 0 Vs Angola 0
History adds an intriguing dimension to the narrative, with Angola having denied Nigeria FIFA World Cup qualification in 2006, setting the stage for a clash steeped in historical significance.
The much-anticipated quarter-final spectacle is scheduled for 2 February 2024 at the illustrious Stade Felix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan.
As the countdown begins, football enthusiasts worldwide eagerly await a clash that promises not only on-field brilliance but also lucrative off-field rewards for the formidable Angolan team.
