The appearance of Zaire (the name of DR Congo between 1971-1997) in the 1974 World Cup marked the first time that a sub-Saharan African team competed at the tournament. At the 1974 tournament Zaire failed to score any goals and suffered a 9-0 defeat to Yugoslavia, however gave credible performances against Scotland and Brazil. They have won the Africa Cup of Nations twice- in 1968 \u0026amp; 1974 and regularly perform well at the tournament, with their best recent results being a third-place finish in the 2015 edition and a fourth-place finish in the 2023 edition. DR Congo made a return to the FIFA World Cup in 2026, qualifying through the playoffs after defeating African giants Nigeria and Cameroon. They performed strongly in the group stages, with a 1-1 draw to Portugal and a 3-1 win against Uzbekistan, before coming close to pulling off a massive upset in their 2-1 loss to England in the Round of 32. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif;\"\u003eSIZE MEASUREMENTS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif;\"\u003eMEDIUM- \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif;\"\u003eArmpit to armpit: 49.5 cm, Top to bottom: 74 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLARGE- \u003c\/b\u003eArmpit to armpit: 51.5 cm, Top to bottom: 76 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Segoe UI',sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eX-LARGE- \u003c\/b\u003eArmpit to armpit: 54.5 cm, Top to bottom: 78.5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jerseys Global","offers":[{"title":"M","offer_id":48118536306875,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":48118536667323,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":48118537060539,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0245\/6957\/7552\/files\/DRCongoUmbro2026NEWBLANK_1.jpg?v=1784617836","url":"https:\/\/global-jerseys.com\/products\/d-r-congo-2026-home-jersey-shirt-1","provider":"Global Jerseys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
