Angola to play Japan under-23

The friendly match will take place in Tokyo city on March 26.
Oliveira Goncalves wanted to field home based players only but Japan asked Angola to use at least 10 players from the recently ended AFCON.

This is the selected squad to face Japan and the clubs they represent:

Mario, Minguito and Eduardo (Interclube)
David and Santana (Petro de Luanda)
Loco and Bena (1 de Agosto)
Lau (Benfica do Lubango)
Nuno (ASA)
Ze Kalanga and Mateus (Boavista)
Diangi (Omniword)
Mendonca (Estrela da Amadora)
Marco Airosa (C.F. Fatima)
Machado (Anadia F.C.)
Edson Nobre (Pacos de Ferreira)
Manucho (Panathinaikos)

This will be a chance for the home based players to prove their worth to the team. I am looking forward to seeing how the team will cope without Kali organising the defence and how the midfield will perform without Andre Makanga, Figueiredo and Gilberto. It will also be interesting to see Manucho play without Flavio to support him.
