Grupo Desportivo Sagrada Esperança, usually known as Sagrada Esperança, is a football (soccer) club from Dundo, Lunda Norte province, Angola. The club won its first title, the Angolan Cup, in 1988. The club's name is likely to originate from Angola's first president Agostinho Neto's famous poem Sagrada Esperança (Sacred Hope). The club was founded on December 22, 1976, by then Angola-state owned diamond company Diamang (now Endiama), which remains as its major sponsor. In 2005, the club, managed by Mário Calado, won the league by having one point ahead ASA.[1] In the same year, the club competed in the 2005 CAF Champions League, but was eliminated in the first round by ASEC Abidjan of Ivory Coast, after a 2–2 draw at home in the first leg and a 1–0 defeat away in the second leg.[2]
