Preparation Phase for the U23 Leopards

On September 22, 2026, the Congolese Football Federation (Fecofa) officially announced that the U23 Leopards have arrived in Casablanca, Morocco, for a crucial training camp. This preparatory stage is vital as the team gears up to face Mauritania in the preliminary round of the African Nations Cup qualifiers, set to take place in Egypt in 2027. The match against Mauritania is scheduled for this Friday, marking a significant moment for the young athletes as they aim to secure their position in the tournament.

The coaching staff has noted unfortunate absences due to injuries, with players Kabwit and Spadoni unable to participate. Their recovery is wished for as the team kicks off its training regimen. The training began immediately upon their arrival, starting with a video analysis session in the morning, followed by an afternoon practice. Such a structured approach indicates the seriousness with which the team is treating this crucial preparation.

This training camp in Casablanca is more than just a routine exercise; it represents a key step for the U23 Leopards as they prepare for the double confrontation against Mauritania, which will be pivotal for their hopes of advancing in the qualifiers for the U23 AFCON 2027. The coaching staff is tasked with maximizing the potential of the available players, ensuring they are well-prepared to face the challenges ahead.
