Fatshimetrie is an unmissable event for all football fans in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Indeed, the national team, the Leopards, are the subject of all the attention of supporters and the media as they try to qualify for the 2026 World Cup. The coach, Sébastien Desabre, must face many challenges to compose your starting team and hope to obtain positive results.
In this context, the news of the renewal of the majority of players in the starting lineup for the match against the Togo Eperviers does not go unnoticed. The names of Yoane Wissa, Samuel Essende and Gaël Kakuta resonate in the minds of the supporters, carrying the hope of seeing their team shine on the pitch.
However, the absence of some players such as Simon Banza and Noah Sadiki, who both missed the match, poses an additional challenge for the team. The performance of Dimitri Bertaud in goal, the defensive talents of Chancel Mbemba, Dylan Batubinsika, Arthur Masuaku and Axel Tuanzebe, as well as the creativity in midfield of Charles Pickel, Samuel Moutoussamy and Gaël Kakuta will be put to the test against a determined Togolese team.
Coach Desabre must therefore demonstrate strategy and tactics to lead his team to victory. The complementarity of attackers Yoane Wissa, Meschack Elia and Samuel Essende, as well as the presence of Mechack Wabeno up front, will be key elements in the Leopards’ quest for qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
Congolese fans are impatiently awaiting this crucial match and hope to thrill to the rhythm of the exploits of their national team. The destiny of the Leopards is in their hands, but with the talent and determination they demonstrate, anything is possible on the playing field. An appointment is made for a thrilling meeting between the DRC and Togo, the heart of the continent African beating to the rhythm of football.
