Democratic Republic of Congo adds European-born players to its national team following the side’s performance at this year’s World Cup, according to reports. Coach Sébastien Desabre is working to widen the pool of available talent and build on the team’s progress at the finals, where it reached the last 32 in North America.
Both outlets link the new call-ups to the increased interest generated by DR Congo’s World Cup exploits. They describe Desabre’s intent to strengthen the squad by bringing in players with European connections, reflecting a broader strategy to enhance depth and competition for places. The reporting also indicates that DR Congo is preparing for upcoming matches, including its first games after the tournament.
While the specific player names and match details are not provided in the excerpts, the shared emphasis is on a post-World Cup expansion of DR Congo’s squad and the timing of international fixtures. The coverage frames the move as part of a longer-term rebuild under Desabre after the tournament stage.
