The Democratic Republic of Congo national team will face Uzbekistan in the final Group K match of the 2026 World Cup at Atlanta Stadium, United States.
This match will determine the fate of the two teams, both of whom are still chasing the opportunity to qualify for the round of 32.
DR Congo currently sits third in Group K, while Uzbekistan sits bottom of Group K with no points. Victory is a must for both teams to maintain their hopes of advancing to the knockout stage, although their chances also depend on the results of other matches.
Sebastien Desabre's team has yet to win a single match in this tournament. After holding Portugal to a draw in their opening match, DR Congo narrowly lost to Colombia 0-1 in their second match.
This result means that DR Congo's path to the round of 32 is not yet completely over. Three points against Uzbekistan is the main requirement to have a chance of qualifying, at least through the eight best third-placed teams.
