In the world of African football, the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers are a crucial issue for many national teams, including that of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Under the leadership of their manager-selector, Sébastien Desabre, the senior Leopards are preparing intensively to face Senegal and Togo as part of the 3rd and 4th days of these qualifiers.
The choice of Morocco as a place of internment for this preparation is strategic. Indeed, Rabat offers quality infrastructure and an environment conducive to concentration and work. The players called up are therefore called upon to give the best of themselves during the planned training sessions.
The current ranking of the DRC in Group B of these qualifiers shows that it occupies third place with 3 points. Behind Senegal and Sudan, the Leopards must redouble their efforts to hope to qualify for the final phase of the 2026 World Cup. Each upcoming match will be crucial for the Congolese team.
The list of players expected in Morocco reveals a varied and talented squad, mixing players playing in Europe and Africa. Names such as Chancel Mbemba, Gaël Kakuta and Axel Tuanzebe are undeniable assets for the DRC national team. The complementarity of the different profiles will offer the technical staff interesting tactical possibilities.
Beyond the sporting aspects, the preparation of the senior Leopards for these World Cup qualifiers is also an opportunity to strengthen cohesion and team spirit within the group. The challenges that await them on the ground require total involvement and unfailing solidarity.
In conclusion, the road to the 2026 World Cup is strewn with pitfalls for the DRC, but the commitment and determination of its players and management could well be the keys to their success. Congolese supporters are impatient to see their Leopards shine on the world stage and to make the rallying cry of an entire nation resonate loud and clear: “Always higher, the Leopards!”
