Angola to Sign Puma Kit Deal?
According to some rumors, Puma will join the Angola National Team, starting from January 2024, replacing the current manufacturing partner, the Portuguese brand Lacatoni. Thanks to bolaemcampo.ao for breaking this news.
However, only in the case of qualifying for the African Cup of Nations, to be held in January 2024, in Côte D'Ivoire, the African nation will have all the technical material from the renowned German brand, so there is interest on both sides in establishing a new partnership if qualification is achieved. Currently, there is no news of contract renewal with Lacatoni.
The last time Puma dressed the team was at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, as well as in three editions of CAN: Ghana, Egypt and Mali.
This news coincides with the opening of the first Puma store in the country, when the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the representative of said brand signed a pre-contract with the national team, who are on the verge of yet another final phase of a CAN.
At the time, Ana Paula do Sacramento Neto, then Minister of Youth and Sports who was present at the event, had expressed her desire to see athletes from the national team in the most different sports, dressed in Puma gear.
