DR Congo hosts Sierra Leone in CAN 2027 qualifier on Thursday
The Leopards host the Leone Stars at the Martyrs stadium in Kinshasa, with Sierra Leone still seeking their first points in the group.
DR Congo's senior men's Leopards host Sierra Leone's Leone Stars on Thursday, November 12, at the Martyrs stadium in Kinshasa. The match, kicking off at 17:00 Kinshasa time, is the third matchday of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Sierra Leone's coach, Didier Gomes da Rosa, a Frenchman, said his team is bottom of the group with zero points after two games. He said his side had mounted a poor start and believes it could have taken four points with more concentration.
Da Rosa said the Leone Stars still believe in their chances against the Congolese, whom he described as one of the continent's strongest sides. The Leopards, who have started the campaign well, will look to consolidate their position in front of their home crowd.
