In addition to Progresso, the club Amigas dos Mártires de Kifangondo Luanda is one of the strongest teams, although with an ultimately unsuccessful appearance at the national championship tournament in Luena in 2008.

The only other competitive teams are Regedoria FC de Viana, and the Clube Desportivo da Terra Nova.
