Petro Atletico denied title as Angolan league ends season without promotion and relegation

Petro Atletico’s ambitions of ending their 11-year Angolan top-flight drought have faded into thin air as the Girabola was ended due to Covid-19.

The decision was declared on Thursday at the end of the meeting between the members of the Angolan Federation of Football and the 15 competing clubs.

As a result, the current season has been declared as void with the Girabola not having a designated winner for the first time in the league’s 41-year history.
