Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the friendly match between Denmark and the Democratic Republic of Congo (date, stadium, kick-off time and live broadcast channels), scheduled for this Wednesday evening as the Leopards gear up for the 2026 World Cup.
With just days to go before the 2026 World Cup kicks off, the Democratic Republic of Congo continues its preparations with a high-profile friendly against Denmark, set for this Wednesday evening in Belgium.
The Leopards will take on the Danish side at Maurice Dufrasne Stadium in Liège, with kick-off set for 18:00 GMT.
This encounter represents a crucial test for Sébastien Desabre’s men, as they look to fine-tune their chemistry before making their World Cup debut. The French coach will make the most of this top-tier opposition to assess his squad’s fitness and competitive level.
Having qualified for the 2026 World Cup, DR Congo is gearing up to return to the world’s most prestigious international competition more than fifty years after their sole appearance in the finals, back in 1974.
Meanwhile, the friendly match between DR Congo and Chile, originally scheduled for June 9 in Spain, has been canceled by the authorities in La Línea de la Concepción, citing precautionary measures due to concerns over a potential Ebola virus outbreak.
This cancellation deprives the Congolese of a second European warm-up fixture before they head to North America for the 2026 World Cup.
