History
Basketball in Angola was celebrated on May 18, 2011, its diamond jubilee as it was in May 1930 that a basketball match was first played in the country. Mr. Pina Cabral, a Portuguese army officer and physical education teacher, organized in May 1930, the first exhibition game between Sporting Clube de Luanda and Associação Académica with an 8–5 final score for the former. Angola played for the very first time internationally in a friendly against Nigeria in 1976 (lost 62-71), made its debut in the African arena in 1980 (7th place) and in the world arena at the 1986 FIBA World Championship in Madrid (20th place). At the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, the Angolan players must have lived a dream by sharing the court with the likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, among others. ==Current squads==
