At the start of this African Cup of Nations, the Democratic Republic of Congo presents itself as a team in good shape. Since October, the Leopards have had a string of precious successes on their way to the World Cup, in which they have not participated for 50 years… Their fate will be decided in March, at the end of the intercontinental play-offs. Until then, they will have the right to luxury preparation with the CAN, which they begin this Tuesday against Benin, in Rabat.
In Morocco, the DRC has the opportunity to end another five-decade drought, since it has not lifted the continental trophy since 1974. For this competition in Morocco, Chancel Mbemba and his teammates, semi-finalists of the last edition, have arguments to put forward, including a good mix between old (Cédric Bakambu) and new generation (Noah Sadiki, Ngal’ayel Mukau).
The DR Congo-Benin match is scheduled to kick off at 1:30 p.m. this Tuesday, December 23. The meeting will be followed live on television on beIN Sports 2.
