Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the highly anticipated friendly clash between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Chile, set for this Tuesday, as the Leopards gear up for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in North America with 48 national teams in contention.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) will play their final warm-up match this Tuesday before the start of the 2026 World Cup. The Leopards will face Chile at Stade de la Source in Orléans, France, as they fine-tune their preparations ahead of the global showpiece.

The match is scheduled for June 9 at 16:00 GMT. It will be played behind closed doors, with no fans or media coverage, in line with both teams’ desire to prepare for the World Cup in complete focus and privacy.

Sébastien Desabre’s squad approaches this encounter with the ambition to step up their intensity and sharpen their on-field chemistry. In their last friendly outing, the Congolese side earned a promising draw against Denmark (0-0).

After this match against Chile, the Congolese delegation will fly out to Houston, USA, to continue their training camp ahead of their debut in Group K at the 2026 World Cup. The Leopards will kick off their World Cup campaign against Portugal on June 17, then take on Colombia on June 24 in Guadalajara. They’ll wrap up the group stage against Uzbekistan on June 27 in Atlanta.
