Angola have appeared in the finals of the FIFA World Cup on one occasion in 2006, since becoming a member of FIFA in 1980. They were eliminated in the Group Stage after a defeat by Portugal and two draws with Mexico and Iran. In their last match, Flávio scored Angola's first and only goal of the tournament.
