Home Sports The tragic decline of the Pentecostal Martyrs Stadium: a call to action

The recent Clasico between AS Vita Club and TP Mazembe at the Stade des Martyrs de la Pentecost in the Democratic Republic of Congo highlighted a concerning issue – the lack of post-match maintenance and hygiene in the stadium stands. Despite recent renovations, the stadium now appears neglected with plastic bottles and debris littering the ground, a stark contrast to its prestigious image. As the Kinshasa derby approaches, this neglect raises worries about sanitation in the stands, with reports of unpaid cleaners exacerbating the situation.

With the upcoming World Cup qualifiers in June, where the Democratic Republic of Congo will host Senegal, urgent action is needed to address the deterioration of the Stade des Martyrs. The neglect of such a significant sports venue calls for immediate attention to ensure it upholds its reputation for hosting top-tier events. It is crucial to implement thorough management and maintenance to preserve the stadium’s grandeur and ensure it continues to be a central hub for Congolese sports and events.
