The Democratic Republic of Congo have announced a 23‑man squad for the upcoming Olympic qualifying matches, with coach Marius Chelle selecting three players from the national side – Atata, Daga and Adeleke – to lead the team.
Seven of the selected players are based in Nigeria, and they will depart the country on Tuesday in preparation for the first leg of the fixture against an African opponent. The match is scheduled to take place at Stade TP Mazembe in Lubumbashi on Friday, 13 November.
While the full roster has not been detailed in this brief, the inclusion of the Nigerian‑based trio highlights the depth of talent available to the Congo side ahead of the Olympic qualifiers.
The first leg will be a key test for the team as they aim to secure a place in the Olympic tournament. The squad’s departure on Tuesday allows them to arrive in Lubumbashi with sufficient time to acclimatise and train before the match.
