The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) national football team's qualification for the World Cup for the first time in 52 years has caused unprecedented enthusiasm in the country. This historic achievement has brought not only the people but also the state leadership to the streets.
İdman.Biz reports that immediately after the news of the victory, Congolese President Félix Tshisekedi took to the streets of the capital and joined the celebrating crowd. The president celebrating this great achievement shoulder to shoulder with his people and being surrounded by citizens has resonated widely in the world media.
The most striking moment in the joy of victory was the people running and dancing on muddy roads. It is reported that Congo completely deserved this qualification at a time when continental giants such as Cameroon and Nigeria were left out of the tournament.
