The U-20 Women’s Leopards of the DRC continue their path towards qualification for the U-20 Women’s World Cup qualifiers. After an encouraging victory in the first match against the Hirondelles of Burundi, the Congolese team is preparing to face its opponent once again in the return match which will be held in Kampala, Uganda.
During the first leg which took place at the Martyrs stadium in Kinshasa, the Léopards Dames U-20 managed to win with a score of 3-2. This victory allowed the Congolese team to take a valuable lead before the return match. However, nothing is decided yet and the players will have to remain focused and determined to ensure their qualification.
This young women’s team from DR Congo benefited from the support of the senior Leopards coach and manager, Sébastien Desabre, who encouraged them during training at the Martyrs stadium. This support from an important figure in Congolese football shows the importance of this team and its journey in the qualifiers.
It should be noted that the match will be played in Kampala due to the absence of a stadium meeting international standards in Bujumbura, the capital of Burundi. This situation highlights the challenges faced by women’s teams in parts of Africa, where sports infrastructure is often insufficient.
This return match represents an opportunity for the Leopards Dames U-20 of DR Congo to move a little closer to qualifying for the U-20 Ladies World Cup. A victory in this match would allow them to achieve this goal and proudly represent their country in the international competition.
In conclusion, the Leopards Dames U-20 of the DRC are preparing to play a crucial match against the Hirondelles of Burundi during the qualifiers for the U-20 ladies world championship. With their victory in the first leg, the Congolese team is well on their way to qualifying, but they will have to remain focused and show determination to secure their place. This is an important moment for Congolese women’s football and an opportunity to highlight the talent and potential of these players.
