Heart of Oak Already in Luanda

The Ghanaian football team Heart of Oak arrived this afternoon in Luanda, to face Atl?tico Sport Avia??o (ASA), for the first leg of the eights of final of the African Champions Soccer League.

The 32-people visiting team includes 18 players.

The team coach, Herbert Addo, told press that his players came confident and are ready to play against any team.

On his turn, the Ghanaian Ambassador in Angola, Kodjo Wadee, said Heart of Oak is a team founded in 1911, and two years ago it won the Champions League.

The Ghanaian delegation was retained at the Airport for about 30 minutes due to lack of entry visas, a situation resolved later with the intervention of a member of the Angolan Football Federation (FAF).
