DR Congo’s official line-up against Uganda revealed

The Leopards are set to play the first leg of their two-legged friendly tie against Uganda this Friday, 2 October.

The match will kick off at 1 pm GMT at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. This is the Democratic Republic of the Congo national team’s first outing following the first two matchdays of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

This match will be played behind closed doors in Johannesburg. Ahead of kick-off, Sébastien Desabre revealed his starting XI.

However, the French manager has reshuffled his official line-up. Several undisputed first-team regulars, such as captain Chancel Mbemba, striker Yoane Wissa and midfielder Sadiki, have been left on the bench. Epolo has been replaced by Dimitri in goal.
