Leopards from the DRC: Mbemba and Bongonda already ready in Spain
With the October international break fast approaching, the Leopards of the Democratic Republic of Congo are actively preparing for their next matches in Spain. And among the players called up by coach Sébastien Desabre, two names already stand out: Chancel Mbemba and Théo Bongonda.
The presence of Chancel Mbemba, the team captain, is excellent news for Congolese supporters. The defender, who currently plays for FC Porto, responded favorably to the call from the national team and joined his teammates in Murcia, Spain. His presence in the squad brings great experience and a solid presence on the field.
Another player who is already in Spain, Théo Bongonda. The midfielder, who plays for Genk in Belgium, is a promising talent in Congolese football. His presence among the first players to answer the call shows his commitment to the national team and his desire to proudly represent the colors of his country.
These players are not the only ones to have responded. Samuel Moutoussamy, Ben Malango, Inonga Baka, Jackson Muleka, Charles Pickel, Joris Kayembe and William Balikwisha were also among the first players to come together in Spain. The squad should continue to grow in the coming hours with the arrival of other summoned players.
This intensive preparation in Spain shows the determination of the DRC Leopards to achieve good performances in upcoming international matches. The players seem motivated and ready to give their best on the pitch.
On October 13, the Congolese team will face New Zealand, followed by a match against Angola on October 17. These meetings will be a good test for the team before the next events, in particular the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations.
Supporters of the Leopards of the DRC can be proud of their players who show a strong commitment to their national team. Let’s hope that they will put together good performances during these matches and continue to carry the colors of the DRC on the international stage.
