1979 Girabola was the annual national Angola football (soccer) tournament, Girabola , held in 1979. It was the first national championship organized after Angola achieved independence in 1975. Due to the Angolan Civil War this was the first (and only) tournament that included teams from all Angolan provinces. By then, there were only sixteen provinces. Later on, the province of Lunda was split in two: Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul and Bengo was also created.[1] [2]
On the course of the championship, Sporting Clube de Luanda was renamed as Diabos Verdes.
Twenty-for teams were divided into four groups of six teams each with the top team advancing to the semi-finals.
João Machado of Diabos Verdes finished as the top scorer with 18 goals.
