The U20 Women’s Leopards Selections: The road to the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup
Women’s football continues to gain popularity and recognition around the world. In this context, the Democratic Republic of Congo is preparing to participate in the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers. The national coach of the Leopards ladies U20, Mulamba Makenga, recently unveiled the list of 26 players who will represent the country during the matches against Burundi.
This announcement marks a new chapter in the history of women’s football in the DRC. Young players now have the opportunity to show their talent and passion for this sport. With a roster made up of goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and attackers, all positions are represented to ensure a balanced and competitive team.
The goalkeepers, Ngamita Brigitte, Bikoko Sephora and Iyolo Louise, will be responsible for protecting the cages and preventing opponents from scoring. Their experience and talent will be essential in keeping the defense strong and secure.
Defense is also a key component of the team. Players such as Muila Vanessa, Lema Béatrice, Kamwanya Arlette and Liwala L’or will have to show tenacity and determination to repel opposing attacks.
In midfield, players like Niania Ephrahime, Makila Jenovic and Kankolongo Rachelle will bring their vision of the game and their ability to organize actions. Their role will be to feed the attackers with balls and create scoring opportunities.
Finally, the attackers, such as Monga Jenny, Lubila Ruth and Lubiku Grace, will be responsible for converting chances into goals. Their speed, technique and scoring instinct will be valuable assets for the Congolese team.
This team’s ultimate goal is to qualify for the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup. To achieve this, they will have to face Burundi in the qualifiers. These matches will be a real test for the U20 Ladies Leopards, who will have to demonstrate determination and cohesion to achieve victory.
Participation in a tournament of this scale represents a unique opportunity for Congolese players to stand out and show their potential on the international scene. It is also an opportunity for the DRC to position itself as a country that supports and encourages the development of women’s football.
In conclusion, the list revealed by the National Coach of the Leopards Ladies U20 is a reflection of the passion and talent of the Congolese players. We wish them good luck in the qualifiers and hope to see them shine on the international stage at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup.
