The Democratic Republic of the Congo national team has chosen Houston as its base camp for the upcoming World Cup.
According to Chris Canetti, president of the local organizing committee, the Leopards will take advantage of Texas’s facilities to prepare for their matches.
This strategic decision is expected to be officially announced in the coming days.
By heading to Texas, the DRC is following in the footsteps of other nations such as Saudi Arabia and Sweden, making the state a true hub of world soccer.
Houston thus becomes the fourth Texas city to serve as headquarters for a team competing in the tournament.
This setting will allow the Congolese to focus fully on their logistical and athletic challenges.
On the field, the task ahead looks intense for the DRC squad. Placed in Group K, they will face Portugal, Colombia, and Uzbekistan.
This U.S. headquarters will serve as a rallying point as they attempt to pull off an upset and secure a historic qualification to the second round.
