Angola's national football team, under new coach Pedro Gonçalves Cissé, is set to face the Central African Republic (CAR) and Botswana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The matches are scheduled for June 2026, as part of Group D of the African qualifiers.
Cissé, appointed in March 2026, takes over after Angola's previous campaign. The team aims to improve its standing in the group, which also includes Cameroon, Cape Verde, and Libya. Angola currently sits in third place in Group D with 5 points from four matches.
The match against CAR will be played on June 5, 2026, followed by the game against Botswana on June 8, 2026. Both matches are crucial for Angola's hopes of qualifying for the World Cup for the first time.
