The Ministry of Sports and Leisure announced on its social media platforms that the ticket price for the Leopards match on Thursday, September 24, at the Martyrs of Pentecost stadium in Kinshasa is 69,000 FC, approximately $30. This announcement comes as the team prepares to take on their opponents in the Eliminations for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN). The match is a significant event for the Congolese team, which has been performing well in recent competitions.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has authorized a limited capacity of 18,000 supporters for the match due to ongoing security concerns at the Martyrs of Pentecost stadium, which is still under renovation. The stadium was vandalized in November during a World Cup qualifying match against Senegal, resulting in a 2-3 loss for the Leopards. Since then, the stadium has been closed and has undergone renovations, including the installation of a new artificial turf.
The Congolese team, led by coach Sébastien Desabre, is looking to qualify for the CAN for the third consecutive time. Desabre is on track to break the record held by Jean-Florent Ibenge Ikwange, who is the only coach to have achieved this feat. The team has shown remarkable performance in recent competitions, including their impressive run in the last World Cup in the United States, where they reached the 16th finals for the first time in their history.
The Leopards are set to face a tough challenge in the Eliminations for the 2027 CAN, but the team's supporters are confident about their chances. The team has been training hard, and the players are determined to put up a good performance in front of their home crowd. The match is expected to be a thrilling encounter, and fans are eagerly awaiting the kickoff.
The Ministry of Sports and Leisure has assured fans that all necessary measures have been put in place to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for spectators. The stadium's renovations are part of a larger effort to improve the country's sports infrastructure and provide a safe and comfortable environment for athletes and fans alike.
Coach Sébastien Desabre has expressed his team's determination to put up a good performance in the match. He emphasized the importance of playing at home and the need to make the most of the opportunity. The team's players, including Samuel Moutoussamy, have expressed their confidence in the team's abilities and their determination to make a good impression.
