The DR Congo national football team is gearing up for a crucial moment in its quest for qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Head coach Sebastien Desabre has announced a 26-man squad, including the return of striker Yoane Wissa, who has recovered from injury. Wissa, who currently plays in the English Premier League with Newcastle United, missed the recent Africa Cup of Nations finals due to a knee injury sustained during a World Cup qualifier against the Senegal national football team in September. His presence in the squad is vital to strengthen the Leopards' attacking options. The inter-confederation playoff looms ahead, and DR Congo hopes to secure a spot for the 2026 World Cup. The team is focusing on preparation and strategy to maximize its chances of success in this decisive match.
