City of  Praia, Feb 11 (Inforpress) – The president of the Cape Verdean Handball Federation (FCA) today expressed satisfaction with the national team’s placement in Pot 3 of the World Championship draw, underscoring the sport’s growth and consolidation at international level.

Reacting to the team’s allocation to Pot 3 of the Handball World Championship, Ângela Almeida said the placement reflects the team’s intermediate-to-high level, its regular participation in World Championships, continental competitiveness and its consolidation as Africa’s third force.

“It is not just a position in the draw. Being in Pot 3 means we are already regarded as an intermediate-to-high-level team, with consistent appearances at World Championships and strong continental competitiveness. We have positioned ourselves as Africa’s third force and are raising our international standing,” Ângela Almeida stated.
