DR Congo’s national team have a rich history of success and they have mostly been one of Africa’s stronger teams since their first international match in 1948. 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 & 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.
Yoane Wissa is one of the highest-profile players in the current DR Congo squad and has played a key role in the recent improvement of the team since making his national team debut in 2020. Wissa was born in France to Congolese parents and came up through the youth ranks of Championnat National (third tier) club Châteauroux, eventually becoming part of their first team squad in the 2015-16 season. After a challenging period playing for various clubs on loan, Wissa made his breakthrough at Ligue 2 club Lorient, where he spent 4 seasons and helped the club gain promotion to Ligue 1 for the 2020-21 season. He impressed in his first season in the top tier of French football and was signed by newly-promoted EPL club Brentford in August 2021. After a highly successful four seasons at Brentford, Wissa attracted the attention of several major clubs and eventually signed with Newcastle United in September 2025 for a minimum fee of £50 million. At international level, Wissa has won 43 caps for DR Congo and scored 12 goals, notably scoring DR Congo's first-ever FIFA World Cup goal in their 1–1 draw against Portugal, and then scoring a brace in their 3–1 victory over Uzbekistan at the 2026 World Cup.
