Cuando Cubango Futebol Clube or simply Cuando Cubango FC is an Angolan sports club from the city of Menongue, in the Angolan southern province of Cuando Cubango. The club was founded as Futebol Clube da Casa Militar.
In 2016, the team secured a place in the Gira Angola (Angola's second division championship) in 2016 after winning the Cuando Cubango province football championship.{{cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/ango2016.html |title=Segundona |website=RSSSF |accessdate=12 July 2016 |archive-date=2 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221202055849/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesa/ango2016.html |url-status=live }}

In 2018, the club decided to change the name to Cuando Cubango Futebol Clube.{{cite web |url=http://jornaldeangola.sapo.ao/desporto/tricolores_baptizam__cuando_cubango_fc |title=Tricolores "baptizam" Cuando Cubango FC |publisher=Jornal de Angola |accessdate=14 Feb 2018 |archive-date=16 February 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180216025357/http://jornaldeangola.sapo.ao/desporto/tricolores_baptizam__cuando_cubango_fc |url-status=dead }}
Financial difficulties
On January 22, 2022, during the 2021-22 Girabola season, the club's management threatened to drop out of the competition, citing financial difficulties related to an expense of 300 million kwanzas,{{Cite web|last=SAPO|title=Cuando Cubango FC recebe apoio financeiro até final do Girabola|url=https://desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/girabola/artigos/cuando-cubango-fc-recebe-apoio-financeiro-ate-final-do-girabola|access-date=2022-02-11|website=SAPO Desporto|language=pt|archive-date=11 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220211154348/https://desporto.sapo.pt/futebol/girabola/artigos/cuando-cubango-fc-recebe-apoio-financeiro-ate-final-do-girabola|url-status=live}} but revealing the club was working together with the government of the Cuando Cubango province to find a solution.{{Cite web|title=Girabola: Cuando Cubango anuncia possível desistência por razões financeiras|url=https://www.ojogo.pt/internacional/africa/noticias/girabola-cuando-cubango-anuncia-possivel-desistencia-por-razoes-financeiras-14517932.html|access-date=2022-02-11|website=www.ojogo.pt|language=pt-PT|archive-date=11 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220211154346/https://www.ojogo.pt/internacional/africa/noticias/girabola-cuando-cubango-anuncia-possivel-desistencia-por-razoes-financeiras-14517932.html|url-status=live}} Due to these circumstances, the club failed to attend an away game against Petro de Luanda, which resulted in a lost game, as per regulation.
Later, on 10 February, the Angolan government assured that, despite considering that the process of the club's founding was badly handled, Cuando Cubango FC would receive financial support until the end of the 2021-22 Girabola season.
