GROUP E: ANGOLA (FIFA FUTSAL WORLD CUP)

One of the debutants on FIFA Futsal World Cup, Angola poses an unknown for most of the teams and pundits.

They have qualified to Lithuania as the third best African team losing only to two powerhouses Egypt and Morocco. Rui Sampaio's troops will enjoy playing on the big stage.
