Position: Goalkeeper
Born: 01.02.81
Club: Petro Atletico

The second-choice No 1 behind Joao Pereira, Luis Joao 'Lama' should ensure the future of Angolan goalkeeping is in safe hands.

A very athletic man, the custodian was an ever-present in the FIFA World Youth Cup in Argentina and was soon drafted into the national team.

Currently playing his club football for Petro Atletico, based in the Angolan capital Luanda, the 25-year-old missed the African Nations Cup and is likely to spend this tournament on the bench unless Pereira is struck down.
