Lumumba Absent from Crucial Congo Match
The French newspaper L'Équipe revealed that the famous Congolese fan, Lumumba Via, will not be able to attend his country's match against Uzbekistan after failing to obtain a visa to enter the United States of America.
Lumumba Via is considered one of the most famous supporters of the Democratic Republic of Congo's national team, as he used to accompany the team in major tournaments. However, a visa issue will prevent him from supporting his team in the crucial match.
The Democratic Republic of Congo team will face the Uzbek team early Sunday at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, as part of the third and final round of the group stage of the 2026 World Cup.
The Democratic Republic of Congo's national team needs to secure a win to qualify for the round of 32, as they currently have one point. Meanwhile, the Uzbekistan team enters the match without any points.
