Both nations set for first-ever competitive meeting.
The DR Congo national football team are set to face Uzbekistan in a must-win clash for both nations in Group K of the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign at Atlanta Stadium in Georgia, USA.
DR Congo, playing at the World Cup after 46 years, with the side making their last appearance in 1974. They were widely known for their physical style, looking to establish themselves as a formidable force in the new campaign.
They started their campaign against the tournament heavyweights, Portugal, scripting history by earning the nation’s first World Cup points, securing a 1-1 draw. However, they couldn’t carry their great start, as the side suffered a 1-0 defeat against Colombia, leaving their World Cup hopes hanging by a thread.
Uzbekistan, making their historic World Cup debut with hopes of making a strong tournament run, has had an underwhelming campaign so far. They suffered a 3-1 loss against Colombia in their opening fixture despite hard efforts, with Abbosbek Fayzullaev scoring the nation’s first World Cup goal. They then endured a humiliating 5-0 loss against favourites Portugal, bringing curtains to their first-ever tournament run.
