The 2018 Girabola was the 40th season of top-tier football in Angola. The season ran from 10 February to 2 September 2018.[https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/ango2018.html Angola 2018], RSSSF.com

The league comprised 16 teams, the bottom three of which were relegated to the 2019 Provincial stages.

Primeiro de Agosto won their third title in a row, qualifying to the 2018–19 CAF Champions League.{{cite web |url=http://www.angop.ao/angola/en_us/noticias/desporto/2018/8/36/Girabola2018-Agosto-win-third-championship-row,d6a71eac-bc0a-467b-8994-5a2cde538c17.html |title=Girabola2018: 1º de Agosto win third championship in row |publisher=ANGOP.com |date=3 Sep 2018|access-date=3 Sep 2018}}

On an exceptional basis, on account of the Angola Cup not being contested this season, Petro de Luanda, the runner up, qualified to the 2018–19 CAF Confederation Cup.

Teams

A total of 16 teams contested the league, including 13 sides from the 2017 season and three promoted from the 2017 Segundona - Cuando Cubango FC, Domant FC and Sporting de Cabinda.

On the other hand, Progresso da Lunda Sul, ASA and Santa Rita de Cássia were the last three teams of the 2017 season and will play in their respective provincial leagues seeking qualification for the 2018 2nd division qualifiers. Clube Desportivo Primeiro de Agosto were the defending champions from the 2017 season.

Changes from 2017 season

J.G.M. withdrawal

In late April, J.G.M. submitted a withdrawal request to the Angolan Football Federation citing financial reasons. The request was granted. As a result, all points won in games against J.G.M. were withdrawn.{{cite web |url=http://www.angop.ao/angola/en_us/noticias/desporto/2018/3/17/Football-Federation-confirms-JGM-Huambo-team-desistence,966b9fc5-8b62-412b-b082-2c433d828369.html |title=Football: Federation confirms JGM do Huambo team desistence |publisher=ANGOP.com |date=29 Apr 2018 |access-date=30 April 2018 |archive-date=23 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180723003622/http://www.angop.ao/angola/en_us/noticias/desporto/2018/3/17/Football-Federation-confirms-JGM-Huambo-team-desistence,966b9fc5-8b62-412b-b082-2c433d828369.html |url-status=dead }}

FIFA penalties

In May, FIFA has instructed the Angolan Football Federation that Kabuscorp should forfeit 6 points as a result of being in default to their former star player Rivaldo. In a weekly report issued by the Angolan federation, it is further stated that the club may be banned from official competition in case the claimant files a new complaint.{{cite web |url=http://www.angop.ao/angola/pt_pt/noticias/desporto/2018/4/18/Girabola2018-Kabuscorp-perde-seis-pontos-classificacao,7505c1dc-635a-477b-9d86-b84d16aef745.html |title=Girabola2018: Kabuscorp perde seis pontos na classificação |publisher=ANGOP.com |date= 4 May 2018 |language=pt}}

In June, FIFA again ruled that Kabuscorp forfeits 6 points in the League for being in default with TP Mazembe in the 2014 deal with DRC midfielder Trésor Mputu.{{cite web |url=http://www.angop.ao/angola/pt_pt/noticias/desporto/2018/5/23/Girabola2018-Kabuscorp-volta-perder-pontos,662aa761-58c5-4bb1-9c47-aa79adabccbe.html |title=Girabola2018: FIFA volta a sancionar Kabuscopr com perda de pontos |publisher=ANGOP.com |date=8 Jun 2018 |language=pt |access-date=9 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180611114826/http://www.angop.ao/angola/pt_pt/noticias/desporto/2018/5/23/Girabola2018-Kabuscorp-volta-perder-pontos,662aa761-58c5-4bb1-9c47-aa79adabccbe.html |archive-date=11 June 2018 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}

In July, FIFA ruled that Progresso Associação do Sambizanga forfeits 6 points in the League for being in default with Ghanaian striker Raphael Kwaku Obeng.{{cite web |url=https://www.pulse.com.gh/sports/football/raphael-obeng-fifa-order-angolan-club-to-pay-former-hearts-of-oak-player-id7727225.html |title=FIFA order Angolan club to pay former Hearts of Oak player |publisher=pulse.com.gh |date= 14 Dec 2017}}{{cite web |url=http://www.angop.ao/angola/pt_pt/noticias/desporto/2018/6/28/Girabola2018-Divida-retira-pontos-Progresso,96c6b774-6c2b-4e61-a354-b2ff329bbc10.html |title=Girabola2018: Dívida retira pontos ao Progresso |publisher=ANGOP.com |date= 13 Jul 2018 |language=pt}}
