Congo DR World Cup 2026: the full guide

Congo DR head to the 2026 World Cup with a point to prove and a squad built to compete, not just participate. The Leopards qualified by topping a group that included Senegal and Mauritania, conceding only five goals across ten matches. Manager Sébastien Desabre has instilled a disciplined defensive shape built around captain Chancel Mbemba, while Yoane Wissa and Silas Katompa Mvumpa provide the cutting edge in attack. Drawn into Group E alongside Brazil, Switzerland and New Zealand, your Leopards open against the Swiss on June 16 before a heavyweight clash with Brazil four days later.
