DR Congo national football team have released their official squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. They have joined other countries that have already released their squad lists.
The Democratic Republic of Congo qualified for their first World Cup in 52 years after Axel Tuanzebe’s extra-time goal gave them a 1–0 win over Jamaica national football team in their intercontinental play-off final at the Guadalajara Stadium in Mexico.
This came after a back and forth with Nigeria national football team over a case Nigeria put up against them, citing they fielded ineligible players, which later did not hold any water and was ruled out by FIFA.
