Football: Maio Island team at risk of being left out of the Independence Cup

Porto Inglês, 08 May (Inforpress) – About a month before the start of the Independence Cup, the Regional Football Association of the island of Maio has not yet made a decision on the island's participation in the tournament, Inforpress has learned.

The team has not yet been formed, nor has a coach been defined, while the other islands have already presented lists of pre-selected players and announced preparations for the competition, which marks 50 years of national independence.

Football on the island of Maio is going through a period marked by the island's absence from the main national sporting competitions, such as the national football championship and the Cabo Verde Cup, both currently underway.

The participation of Maio in the Independence Cup remains unknown, as the association ‘neither confirms nor denies’ the team's presence in the competition.
