C.D. Primeiro de Agosto in international football

In 2018, they reached the semi-finals of the champions league, where they were eliminated in a second-leg 4-2 defeat to Espérance Tunis, a match that included an alleged biased officiating performance by referee Janny Sikazwe.

Source: [1][usurped] The heavily biased performance of Zambian referee Janny Sikazwe positively prevented D'Agosto from reaching the finals.

The renowned referee had a disgraceful performance during the entire match, completely ignoring the rules of the game and clearly siding with the home team.

On the occasion of the 2nd Congress of the ruling party, the MPLA, Sporting da Praia from Cape Verde was invited to play a series of matches in Angola.

On April 4, 1981, before a 70.000 capacity crowd in Kaduna, Primeiro de Agosto played against then CAN title holders The Green Eagles.

In that match that ended in a scoreless draw, D'Agosto put up such a superb performance that the Nigerian supporters and media mistook the club for the Angolan national team.
