The 2018–19 Girabola is the 41st season of top-tier football in Angola. The season will run from 27 October 2018 to 19 May 2019.[1]
The league comprises 16 teams, the bottom three of which will be relegated to the 2020 Provincial stages.
The winner and the runner-up qualify to the 2019–20 CAF Champions League whereas the 3rd placed team qualifies to the 2019–20 CAF Confederation Cup.
In the 13th round match between Saurimo FC and ASA, the home team goal-keeper Anselmo, felt confident enough to leave his goal unguarded and shoot a free kick that had been awarded for his team, 25 minutes into the game. His confidence paid off as he scored the only goal in the home team's 1-0 win, something unheard of in Angolan football.[2]
Teams
A total of 16 teams contested the league, including 13 sides from the 2018 season and three promoted from the 2018 Segundona - ASA, Saurimo FC (ex-Bikuku FC) and Santa Rita de Cássia.
