DR Congo’s A’ side, Les Léopards, are set for a high-profile friendly against Algeria as they gear up for the 2024 CHAN tournament. This CHAN friendly kicks off their training camp in North Africa—an essential phase of their final preparations.
The Leopards will train in North Africa to sharpen tactics and build team chemistry. Since CHAN features only domestic players, this friendly offers the perfect challenge to test squad unity and match readiness. The encounter will also give their coaching staff a clearer picture of player form and fitness.
Algeria will use the match to assess their own CHAN prospects. DR Congo, meanwhile, will look to build momentum from strong performances in their local leagues. The match offers a real opportunity for their players to stake a claim in the final tournament squad.
Coach Christian Nsengi-Biembe is leading this campaign with intent. His focus is to solidify strategy and instil confidence before the Leopards step into CHAN action. He’ll rely on a balanced mix of experience and youthful energy to create a competitive edge.
CAF’s decision to promote such friendlies underlines a push for better match fitness and exposure for home-based talents. For DR Congo fans, this fixture is more than a warm-up. It’s a statement that the Leopards are ready to roar when CHAN begins.
