As part of the upcoming FIFA international window, the Democratic Republic of Congo is preparing to face Uganda in two highly anticipated friendly matches. The Uganda Football Federation (FUFA) has recently announced its squad for this event and confirmed that the matches will take place on October 2 and 5.

According to sources close to FECOFA, these two encounters from Central and East Africa will be held at a neutral venue in South Africa. This setting will provide both teams the opportunity to refine their tactical systems and assess their respective squads under ideal conditions.

This double friendly comes at a critical time for the Leopards of the DRC. Scheduled just after the start of the qualifiers for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations against Equatorial Guinea and Zimbabwe, this meeting will allow the Congolese coaching staff to maintain competitive rhythm, make adjustments, and evaluate the physical condition of the group ahead of upcoming continental challenges.
