After many difficulties encountered by several Congolese supporters to obtain a visa allowing them to attend the 2026 World Cup in the United States, an emblematic figure from the DRC finally managed to join the tournament.

Lumumba, the legendary Léopard supporter, arrived in Mexico according to a video released by Actu Foot on Monday, June 22, and will be present Wednesday at the stadium in Guadalajara to support the Congolese selection during his match against Colombia.

Its presence represents a strong symbol for Congolese fans, many of whom have seen their visa applications denied in recent weeks, depriving them of the opportunity to encourage their team on the world stage.
