Gira Angola aka Segundona is the 2nd division of Angolan football (soccer). It is organized by the Angolan Football Federation and gives access to Angola's top tier football division Girabola.

Angola, officially the Republic of Angola, is a west-coast country of south-central Africa. It is the seventh-largest country in Africa, bordered by Namibia to the south, the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the north, Zambia to the east, and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Angola has an exclave province, the province of Cabinda that borders the Republic of the Congo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The capital and largest city of Angola is Luanda.

The league comprises 2 series of 6 teams, the winner of each series being automatically promoted to the 2016 Girabola while the runners-up of each group will contest for the third spot.^[1] At the end of the regular season, the three series winners will play a round-robin tournament to determine the league champion.

The 2016 Girabola is the 38th season of top-tier football in Angola. The season ran from 19 February to 5 November 2016.

Real M'buco and Mpatu a Ponta who were supposed to contest in group A, withdrew citing financial reasons as did Malanje Sport Clube in group B for the same reason.

All teams in each group play in a double round robin system (home and away).
