Taça Amilcar Cabral


Tournament for Western African nations (Zone 2), originally annual, now biannual. Prior to 1979 a predecessor tournament was organised on 5 occasions, the Tournoi de la zone 2. The 1975 edition of that tournament is considered to be the first edition of the Taça Amílcar Cabral.

NB: Sierra Leone sent a league selection to this tournament, since the full national team was
    away at a training camp in West Germany.  The selection of 13 players included 6 Ghanaians,
    and initially there was a fear that, if the organizers had insisted on strict protocol,
    Sierra Leone might have to play with fewer than 11 players on the field even if the coach
    and manager were thrown in.
