The Angolan Olympic
Committee (COA) could send only the swimming and athletics team to the Olympic
games in Japan because of financial constraints.
COA general secretary,
Antonio Monteiro “Bambino” said that part of the 380 billion kwanzas for the
event should have been available in 2019 already.
The committee could be
forced to send a delegation with only the swimming and athletics (two athletes
each, in both fields) if they did not received the required money by March.
He said that in 2019,
each ticket to Japan cost 700,000 kwanzas and that the cost had increased
substantially.
