After an intense final match against Turkey, Angola's national amputee football team won the World Cup championship in Guadalajara, Mexico—making them the first African tea m ever to earn the victory.

After the game ended 0-0, the two teams faced off in a penalty shootout, with Angola eventually beating Turkey 5-4, after a Turkish goal was blocked by Angola's goalie Jesus, while a winning spot-kick was secured by Henio Guilerme, reports BBC Sport.

Angola finished second place in the 2014 World Cup games, which also took place in Mexico—returning in 2018 to secure the victory against Turkey, who are the reigning European Amputee Cup Champions.

Nigeria and Kenya also represented the continent at this year's Amputee World Cup.

Congratulations to the Angolan team for their success at the Amputee World Cup Games, and for making the entire continent proud.
