Bento Kangamba (BK) Provides Reassurance to Angolan Football Fans Amid FIFA Case

In the midst of heightened anticipation surrounding the outcome of the case involving former Brazilian player Rivaldo and Kabuscorp do Palanca at FIFA, Bento Kangamba, the president of the club, offers reassurance to fans of national football, expressing confidence that the interests of the country are being safeguarded.

Despite concerns of potential collective punishment for Angolan teams and national squads, leading to possible exclusion from competitions governed by the world’s football governing body, Kangamba remains composed and unwavering in his belief that a favorable resolution will be achieved. In the midst of uncertainty, Kangamba emerges as a symbol of calm, providing hope for a positive outcome.

Addressing the matter of Rivaldo’s payment, Kangamba assures that progress has been made in resolving the outstanding debt. Significant payments have already been made, and the club awaits confirmation of a transfer of 80,000 euros to complete the agreed-upon amount. Detailed updates are being managed by the club’s legal team, who are actively working on the matter.

In an apparent critique of the federative board led by Artur Almeida and Silva, Bento Kangamba reiterates his message of tranquility, urging fans to remain calm and focus on celebrating the team’s upcoming matches and the prospect of securing nine points. He advises supporters to ignore distractions and rumors regarding relegation and instead maintain confidence in Kabuscorp’s collaboration with Rivaldo’s lawyers and FIFA to reach a resolution.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports is closely monitoring the situation, with Secretary of State Carlos Almeida expressing the hope for a satisfactory decision that addresses the concerns of all parties involved. The ministry acknowledges the potential impact on the National Football Championship and the need for Kabuscorp to fulfill its obligations to maintain balance within the competition.

The International Federation has called on the current fourth-place team, Kabuscorp do Palanca, with 39 points, to provide evidence of paying the debt claimed by Rivaldo. Failure to do so could result in point deductions for the team, affecting both the top and bottom of the league table, but not impacting the competition between 1º de Agosto and Petro de Luanda, who have already won their matches.

Apart from the case involving Rivaldo, Kabuscorp do Palanca has faced other contractual disputes, with coaches such as Angolan Romeu Filemon, and their assistants, as well as several athletes, expressing dissatisfaction with unfulfilled obligations. Despite challenges faced during this year’s Girabola edition, including a loss of nine points, Kangamba remains optimistic about the team’s potential for a comeback, considering the FAF’s measure to be premature and possibly influenced by external pressures.

Among other notable cases, the dispute with Democratic Republic of Congo star Tresor Mputu Mabi saw FIFA ruling in favor of the player against the club. However, a different outcome occurred in his dispute with TP Mazembe, his original club, where the attributes that motivated his hiring in Angolan football were questioned.

Angolan football has experienced teams that have faced repercussions from the global football governing body, with FC Cabinda being one such example.

In conclusion, Bento Kangamba’s reassurance serves as a pillar of hope and assurance for Angolan football fans amidst the ongoing FIFA case involving Rivaldo and Kabuscorp do Palanca. With Kangamba’s steadfast confidence and determination, coupled with legal efforts, the football community anticipates a positive resolution that will safeguard the interests of the country and the club. As the situation continues to be closely monitored by relevant authorities, Angolan football enthusiasts eagerly await a favorable outcome and a continuation of a thriving National Football Championship.
