The government of Angola has approved a legal framework setting out new rules for the management and use of public sports infrastructure across the country, Youth and Sports Minister Rui Falcão announced on Wednesday. According to AllAfrica, citing the Angolan state news agency ANGOP, the Council of Ministers endorsed the framework at its regular session in Luanda.

The new framework is intended to clarify how public sports assets are administered, allocated and maintained, bringing them under a single set of national rules.

Angola, a southern African nation of more than 36 million people, has invested heavily in sports infrastructure since the end of its civil war in 2002. Major projects in Luanda and other provincial capitals have been used to host continental competitions and to support the country’s flagship football clubs. Successive governments have framed investment in sport as part of broader national development and youth policy.

Once enacted, the rules are expected to govern how venues are allocated for competitions, how they are maintained, and how access is granted to clubs, schools and community groups across the country, AllAfrica reported.
