The DR Congo national football team has been suspended by FIFA due to interference in the federation's affairs. Sports Minister Hugues Ngouélondélé took control of the Fécofoot, triggering the suspension. The Congo Red Devils were set to play two World Cup 2026 qualifying matches in March, in Tanzania and against Zambia. The suspension means that the representative teams and affiliated clubs of the Fécofoot can no longer participate in international competitions. Pakistan is also under suspension for not having revised its electoral statutes. FIFA specified that the sanction will be lifted if the PFF congress adopts the constitution presented by FIFA and the AFC. Supporters of the DR Congo national football team are worried about the future of their team. The suspension could have significant consequences for upcoming matches. Tanzania and Zambia are the next opponents of the DR Congo national football team. The Congo Red Devils are currently 5th and last in Group F, dominated by Morocco. Eritrea has already forfeited. The DR Congo national football team must now wait for the suspension to be lifted to play again. The team's manager and players are awaiting the decision of the FIFA. The suspension is a big blow to the team's chances of qualifying for the World Cup 2026.
