DRC Leopards won a friendly match against Uganda’s The Cranes, 1-0, thanks to a penalty converted by Théo Bongonda. This victory allows them to better prepare for the fifth day of qualifying for the African Cup of Nations (CAN) against the Panthers of Gabon.
The Congolese technical staff, led by Frenchman Sébastien Desabre, will be able to learn from this match before the end of their internship which ends this Friday, June 16. It’s a great performance for the technician who won his second friendly match with the DRC out of the four played so far.
This success proves that the Leopards are ready to challenge the Gabonese for the fifth day of the CAN qualifiers. It will be a game not to be missed, which will be very competitive.
Apart from football, other news animated the news in the DRC. Among these, the promotion of the Congolese middle class was at the heart of the debates during a business dinner organized in Lubumbashi. The question of security also arises, with the worrying resurgence of the M23 in the DRC, which has led to a situation of insecurity in the country.
In addition, international athletes and artists were disappointed with the cancellation of the African Martial Arts Festival in Kinshasa, and the Giraffes, fascinating and endangered animals, were highlighted in the Koure reserve, in Niger.
Finally, the DRC Mining Week 2023 was a great success, bringing together more than 1000 local and international leaders to explore investment opportunities in the DRC mining sector.
The diversity and richness of the events that shook up the news in the DRC are a reminder of the depth and complexity of the country.
