In 2016, the team secured a place in the Gira Angola (Angola's second division championship) in 2016 after winning the Cuando Cubango province football championship.[1]
In 2017, the club qualified for the Angolan top division, the Girabola.[2]
In 2018, the club decided to change the name to Cuando Cubango Futebol Clube.[3]
Financial difficulties
On January 22, 2022, during the 2021-22 Girabola season, the club's management threatened to drop out of the competition, citing financial difficulties related to an expense of 300 million kwanzas,[4] but revealing the club was working together with the government of the Cuando Cubango province to find a solution.[5] Due to these circumstances, the club failed to attend an away game against Petro de Luanda, which resulted in a lost game, as per regulation.[4]
Later, on 10 February, the Angolan government assured that, despite considering that the process of the club's founding was badly handled, Cuando Cubango FC would receive financial support until the end of the 2021-22 Girabola season.[4]
