DR Congo — World Cup 2026 Squad & Fixtures

DR Congo reached the finals through Inter-confederation Playoff Path 1 and go into Group K with Portugal, Uzbekistan and Colombia. This is their first World Cup since 1974, and the group stage from that tournament is still their best finish. The draw is demanding, but it is not closed: Uzbekistan are also newcomers, and Colombia can be pressed into untidy games. DR Congo look like a side that could make the group more complicated than the seeds would prefer.
