Luanda - The former captain of the Angolan Senior Basketball Team, Carlos Almeida, will run for president of the Angolan Basketball Federation, according to him in recent statements to the press in Luanda.
Carlos Almeida said that it was still an announcement of intention, meaning that the candidacy should be formalized shortly.
Improving sporting results and returning Angolan basketball to its own characteristics are among the objectives of the former player who became famous on 1º de Agosto.
Carlos Almeida, 47 years old, was African Champion in the 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, 2009 and 2013 editions.
This announcement occurs at a time when the current federative president, José Moniz Silva, leaves open the possibility of whether or not he will run for his own succession in the election for the four-year term 2024-28.
Elected in 2020, the FAB's head took over at a time when the body was led by a management committee, after a management crisis took place, which culminated in the dismissal of the then president of the board, Hélder Martins da Cruz “Maneda”. MC/CF/DOJ
