Angola pull out of Cosafa Cup

Angola have pulled out of the Cosafa Cup 2019.

They cite the need to finish their league season and the need to prepare for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Three-time winners Angola have missed two previous Cosafa Cup tournaments – the very first one in 1997 and also four years ago in 2015.

With the regional tournament set to kick off this weekend organisers say there is insufficient time to find a replacement.

It means that this year’s Group A will contain three teams – eSwatini, Mauritius and Comoros Islands – giving one of those sides an excellent opportunity to reach the quarterfinals and set up a date with defending champions Zimbabwe on June 1.
