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 2017, the club qualified for the Angolan top division, the Girabola. [2]
In 2018, the club decided to change the name to Cuando Cubango Futebol Clube. [3]
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, [4] but revealing the club was working together with the government of the Cuando Cubango province to find a solution. [5] 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. [4]
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. [4]
