2015 AFCON qualifiers! Here’s a quick summary and some context:
Coach Claude Leroy finalized the squad after dropping some dual nationals, including goalkeeper Brice Samba from Marseille, due to lack of agreement.
The team keeps core performers who have helped Congo top their qualifying group with 6 points after two matches (notably the strong showing against Nigeria, 3-2 loss but a spirited performance).
Congo faces South Africa in a two-legged tie: home leg on October 10, then away in South Africa on October 14.
Group standings: Congo leads (6 pts), South Africa (4 pts), Nigeria (1 pt), Sudan (0 pts).
