In this article, we highlight the progression of the DRC Leopards in the FIFA rankings. The Congolese national team gained 5 places to reach 64th position in the world and also gained 2 places at the continental level to reach 12th place in Africa. This progress could allow them to appear in the second hat during the draw for the next African Cup of Nations (CAN), which would strengthen their chances of having a good run in the competition. Additionally, a better position in the FIFA rankings can attract the attention of sponsors and investors, which could help develop Congolese football.
