About This Match
DR Congo face Uzbekistan in the Group Stage of Group K on Saturday, June 27, 2026. DR Congo are ranked #50 in the world and managed by Sébastien Desabre; Uzbekistan sit at #40 under Srecko Katanec. The match kicks off at 19:30 local time at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
DR Congo
DR Congo make a momentous return to the World Cup stage in 2026, ending a 52-year absence since appearing as Zaire at West Germany 1974 - one of the longest gaps in World Cup history for any nation. The Leopards, African Cup of Nations runners-up in 2024, are a physically imposing, technically gifted side coached by French tactician Sébastien Desabre. Porto's Chancel Mbemba provides leadership at the back while the attacking threats of Cédric Bakambu and Brentford's Yoane Wissa add dangerous edge. Group K against Portugal, Colombia, and Uzbekistan is tough, but DR Congo's return after 52 years is one of the great narrative stories of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Read DR Congo preview →Uzbekistan
Uzbekistan make their historic World Cup debut at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, representing Central Asia at a major tournament for the first time. The White Wolves have been one of Asia's most improved national teams under Slovenian coach Srecko Katanec, developing a coherent playing style around Roma striker Eldor Shomurodov and the technical midfield of Jakhongir Sidiqov. Group K against Portugal, Colombia, and DR Congo is a challenging draw for debutants, but Uzbekistan's disciplined organisation and home-grown talent have already surprised larger nations in Asian competition. Their debut marks a historic milestone for football across Central Asia.
