  VLT images in $BVI$ are used to identify the optical counterparts to bright
CHANDRA X-ray points sources discovered by Kraft et al. (2001, ApJ, 560, 675)
in NGC5128. Of a total of 111 X-ray point sources with L_X>2*10^{36} ergs/s
present in a 56 arcmin^2 field centered on this galaxy, 58 have optical
counterparts. Based on the sizes, optical magnitudes and colors, 20 new
globular cluster counterparts of X-ray sources are identified, plus 3
identified based on their sizes. This brings the total number of globular
cluster X-ray sources in this galaxy to 33, and establishes that 30% of the
X-ray point sources in NGC5128 are associated with globular clusters. These
X-ray globular clusters occupy the brightest end of the globular cluster
luminosity function, indicating that bright low-mass X-ray binaries are
preferentially found in massive clusters. Most of the globular clusters with
X-ray sources have red colors, with 1.0<V-I<1.5, indicating that low-mass X-ray
binaries are preferentially formed in metal-rich clusters. The NGC5128 X-ray
globular cluster sources are brighter in comparison with the Milky Way sources:
there are 24 globular clusters with X-ray sources of L_x>10^{37} erg/sec. There
is, however, no globular cluster X-ray source in NGC5128 as bright as expected
for an accreting black hole. In addition, 31 optical counterparts of X-ray
point sources that are not associated with globular clusters are identified.
Finally, 53 X-ray point sources (48% of the population), do not have any
optical counterparts down to the faintest magnitude limits (B=25).
