Friendly RDC-Uganda: Spots to be earned by newcomers

The Leopards of the DRC face Uganda on October 2 at Soccer City in Johannesburg in a friendly match. The coaching staff is using this game to evaluate 12 new players called up for the CAN qualification campaign, giving them a chance to prove themselves. Some players, including Stanis Idumbo, Paris Maghoma, Anthony Musaba, and Noah Mbamba, have withdrawn, but the team remains focused on these matches to strengthen the squad. The three-week international break provides an opportunity for these players to showcase their skills in real-game situations.
