The Argentina National Team is finalizing the last details for Sunday's friendly against Angola, marking the end of its international tour. In Alicante, a large crowd gathered at the training session to bid farewell to the world champion team, but the excitement is not limited to Europe: in the African country, the lead-up to the match is being experienced with unprecedented passion and curiosity that surprised everyone.
The reason is not only about soccer. Angola is celebrating 50 years of its independence from Portugal, and the match against Argentina has become part of the national festivities. The Estadio 11 de Noviembre, which is named after the very date on which independence was declared, will be the setting for a doubly festive day.
However, what drew the most attention in recent hours was the ridiculous price of the tickets. According to the Angolan Federation, since this is a popular celebration, the cost of a ticket to see the Albiceleste was 1,000 kwanzas, which is just one dollar at the current exchange rate.
