Ebola has disrupted the preparations for the DR Congo’s team for the 2026 World Cup. However, the team will still participate in the tournament.

As the decisive matches of the qualifying cycle approach, the African team faces a serious challenge. Medical protocols and requirements related to epidemiological safety force the coaching staff to completely change the schedule of training sessions. According to leading international media sources, the situation is being closely monitored by FIFA and CAF.

The DR Congo team has canceled its training sessions ahead of the 2026 World Cup due to the outbreak of Ebola. But this won’t prevent them from participating in the tournament.

We follow the developments closely. Experts say that this temporary interruption will require the coaching staff to be flexible in their tactical preparations. However, the team’s strong composition and professional level will enable them to maintain their competitive spirit. The organizers of the tournament have confirmed that the health restrictions won’t affect their ability to participate in the tournament. The Leopards will continue their preparations in safe locations, thereby maintaining all their chances of success in the qualifiers. We will keep an eye on the developments.
