World Cup 2026 playoffs: Pape Thiaw shows his support for DR Congo

Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw has sent a message of support to the DR Congo Leopards, who are preparing for their intercontinental playoff clash against Jamaica.

In a statement filled with African solidarity, Pape Thiaw sought to rally the DR Congo squad ahead of this decisive encounter.

"Good luck to the DR Congo Leopards for the 2026 World Cup playoffs! The entire African continent is behind you. Give it your all on the pitch, make your nation proud, and write history! Go DR Congo," he wrote on his Instagram status.

This gesture highlights the genuine unity surrounding the African representative still in the race for a World Cup spot. At this stage of the competition, every match is of historic importance, and DR Congo qualifying would be seen as a triumph for African football as a whole.

Jamaica stands as the final hurdle on the path to a historic qualification for the 2026 World Cup.
