The announcement was confirmed in a press release issued by the Secretariat of the National Football League (LINAFOOT).

Twelve clubs will re-enter competitive action as they battle for supremacy in this decisive phase of the national championship.

The playoffs are set to be pivotal in determining the ultimate winner of the 2024–2025 DRC Ligue 1 season.

Teams are expected to take all required measures to ensure that matches proceed in a professional and orderly manner.

According to the release, any prior announcements or directives that may contradict the new instructions are to be disregarded.

This year’s playoff stage carries heightened significance as LINAFOOT aims to reinforce both the competitiveness and the profile of Congolese football on a national scale.

With strong fan interest, emerging talent, and increasing commercial attention, the league views this edition as an opportunity to showcase the growth and resilience of the domestic game.

“The league intends to strengthen the competitiveness and attractiveness of local football,” the statement added, pointing to both sporting and economic stakes involved in the upcoming matches.

The 2025 Playoffs promise intense clashes, with clubs fighting not only for the title but also for potential qualifications for continental competitions.

Fans across the country will be watching closely as their teams resume their campaigns with hopes of glory and silverware.
