DR Congo Fall to Chile as Ebola Concerns Continue to Disrupt World Cup Preparations
Posted : 09 June 2026
The Democratic Republic of Congo suffered a 2-1 defeat to Chile in a World Cup warm-up match held behind closed doors in France.
The friendly was moved from Spain after local authorities raised concerns over the ongoing Ebola outbreak in DR Congo, which has already disrupted the team's preparations.
Despite travel restrictions imposed by the United States, the Congolese squad is not expected to face issues as it has been based in Europe ahead of the tournament.
