Before that, the Democratic Republic of Congo played two FIFA World Cup qualifiers in March. They edged South Sudan 1-0 at home and beat Mauritania 2-0 away.

The Leopards of the DR Congo contested six AFCON qualifiers between September and November last year. They defeated Guinea 1-0 at home, Ethiopia 2-0 away, Tanzania 1-0 at home and 2-0 away before losing 1-0 to Guinea away and 2-1 to Ethiopia at home.
