The Games of La Francophonie are fast approaching and excitement is mounting within the Congolese delegation in charge of organizing this major event. An inspection visit was carried out by the Minister of Communication, Patrick Muyaya, the Minister of Sports François Kabulo mwana Kabulo, and other government officials to ensure the proper preparation of the sites.
The first stage of the visit took place at the Martyrs sports stadium, where all the infrastructures are ready to host the competitions. The Tata Raphaël stadium was also inspected, with the laying of the synthetic turf and the finalization of the work for the tennis courts. The prefabricated accommodation will not yet be ready for the Games, but the catering room, dispensary and accreditation room are already operational. Finally, the UNIKIN site was visited, confirming the availability of accommodation for the athletes, as well as the good living and reception conditions.
Government spokesman Patrick Muyaya stressed the importance of this event for the Democratic Republic of Congo. Despite the delays encountered, particularly in the renovation of sports infrastructure in accordance with international standards, the country has invested in providing modern conditions to French-speaking athletes.
Beyond the organization of the Games, this event will also allow the DRC to benefit from quality sports infrastructure, which has been sorely lacking since its independence. This is a unique opportunity to take a step forward in the development of sport in the country.
With only a few days left before the start of the Games, all efforts are focused on the final finishing touches and preparations. The Congolese delegation is determined to welcome the athletes in the best conditions and to make this edition of the Games of La Francophonie a resounding success.
