1980 Girabola


1980 Girabola was the annual national Angola football (soccer) tournament, Girabola, held in 1980. It was the second national championship organized after Angola achieved independence in 1975. Due to the Angolan Civil War this was the first (and only) tournament that included teams from all Angolan provinces. By then, there were only sixteen provinces. Later on, the province of Lunda was split in two: Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul and Bengo was also created.

Twenty-for teams were divided into four groups of six teams each.
