Fatshimetrie – Explosive pre-match between Nouvelle Vie Bomoko and FC Arc-en-ciel for the opening of the 108th championship of the Entente Provinciale de Football de Kinshasa (EPFKIN)!
The spotlight is already on the Tata Raphaël stadium in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, as anticipation builds for the kick-off of the opening match between Nouvelle Vie Bomoko and FC Arc-en-ciel. A poster full of history and rivalry that promises sparks from the start of this new sports season.
The return of Arc-en-ciel to the city’s elite championship does not go unnoticed, bringing back memories of its glorious past. Indeed, in 2015, this team from the Livulu district, in the commune of Lemba, won the EPFKIN title under its former name of “Sporting Club”, challenging the famous FC Renaissance du Congo and its many supporters. Despite its only victory, Arc-en-ciel had finally sold its assets to join the Amicale Sportive Dragons Bilima of Kinshasa, thus marking the beginning of its fall into the lower divisions.
However, like the phoenix rising from its ashes, Arc-en-ciel is now returning more determined than ever, under the leadership of coach Jules Bofira Ngenge. It is a real rebirth for this club which aspires to regain its former glory and make its way to the top of the championship.
Opposite, Nouvelle Vie Bomoko, led by Olivier Katwala, is also preparing to fight on the field, despite the rumors of a sale surrounding the club. The team is ready to give its best to shine in this emblematic match.
With a busy schedule for this new season and teams ready to fight, football fans in Kinshasa can expect exciting and action-packed matches. The opening match between Nouvelle Vie Bomoko and FC Arc-en-ciel will only be the prelude to a promising and emotional season.
So head to the Tata Raphaël stadium to watch this duel between two great teams, symbols of a devouring passion for Congolese football. EPFKIN may well have some great surprises in store for us and offer us unforgettable moments. Let the show begin!
