The first group of DR Congo national team players and officials touched down at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Monday 20 March ahead of the team’s faceoff with Kenya’s Harambee Stars scheduled for Sunday.
The first contingent of 13, consisting of players and officials includes five Europe based players and as confirmed by the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) will be hosted at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies.
The team will have its first training session on Kenyan soil on Tuesday 21 March at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies (KSMS) starting 5pm.
