Attending the match between DR Congo and Sierra Leone will cost at least 30 US dollars. The Congolese Football Association (FECOFA) has set this price for the third-round match of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, scheduled for this Thursday, November 12, at the Stade des Martyrs in Kinshasa.

A flat rate of 30 dollars, 18,000 tickets authorized

The ticket price is set at 30 US dollars, or approximately 69,000 Congolese francs. No entry to the stadium will be allowed for supporters who do not have this amount. Tickets are available directly at FECOFA headquarters. Supporters can also apply online via the Federation’s official website, then go to headquarters to collect their ticket.

Initially scheduled to be played behind closed doors, the match will now take place in front of a crowd limited to 18,000 spectators. FECOFA and the Ministry of Sports secured an exemption from the Confederation of African Football (CAF). The restriction is due to safety and access conditions at the Stade des Martyrs, which is still undergoing renovation. The Kinshasa venue has a total capacity of around 80,000, but it is not yet able to welcome its full audience.

Thursday’s fixture

DR Congo host Sierra Leone this Thursday, November 12, at 5 p.m. Kinshasa time, in the third round of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. After two rounds, the Leopards top the group with six points, ahead of Zimbabwe and Equatorial Guinea, who each have three points. Sierra Leone are bottom without a point.

At the pre-match press conference, Leopards coach Sébastien Desabre said he would have liked to see the Stade des Martyrs packed for this match.

I would like to play in a full stadium, because the supporters deserve to see their players and the players deserve to see their supporters. We are disappointed, but we have to adapt to the circumstances and focus on the 18,000 spectators who will be there.
