Another of the Angolan squad to be based in Portugal, Jamba - full name Joao Pereira - was a mainstay during qualifying.

One of just six players to play 10 or more games for the Palancas Negras on the road to Germany, Jamba's partnership with Kali in central defence was the main reason why Angola conceded just nine goals in 12 qualifiers.

Not the tallest centre-back in the world at 5ft 11in yet the AS Aviacao defender has good spring and is therefore strong in the air.
