The Confederation of African Football (CAF) says the African Nations Cup will go ahead despite Friday's gunfire attack on the bus carrying the Togo team.
A bus driver was killed in the gun attack on Friday shortly after the Togo team crossed the border into the Cabinda enclave, where they are due to play in Group B.
Two players were injured in the attack along with a further seven team officials, Angolan government officials said.
“Our first priority is the safety of the players but the tournament will go ahead,” CAF spokesman Suleimanu Habubu said in Luanda.
The separatist group the Front for the Liberation of Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC) claimed responsibility for the attack.
CAF said high-ranking officials would fly to the area on Saturday.
“We want to know the full facts which we don’t have as yet. We cannot offer a reaction yet to the media before we have assessed the situation,” Habubu told reporters.
Cabinda, is scheduled to host matches involving Ghana, Ivory Coast, Togo and Burkina Faso.
The 16-team tournament starts in Luanda on Sunday over a three-week period.
