DR Congo aims for World Cup Round of 32 against Uzbekistan

DR Congo faces Uzbekistan on June 28, needing a win to advance to the knockout stages of the FIFA World Cup. The African nation has drawn with Portugal and lost to Colombia, putting them in a must-win situation against Uzbekistan, considered the easiest opponent in their group. A victory would secure them the fourth point necessary to qualify as a third-place team. Historically, DR Congo, previously known as Zaire, has only participated in the World Cup once, in 1974, without scoring a goal.
