Noah Sadiki, the promising midfielder from Union Saint-Gilloise, is poised to join the DR Congo national team, popularly known as the Leopards, for the upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Sources close to Sébastien Desabre, the head coach of DR Congo, have confirmed Sadiki’s inclusion in the squad for the gathering scheduled for June.
This news heralds the arrival of a new binational talent into the Leopards’ fold. Noah Sadiki’s selection underscores the coach’s approval and his commitment to integrating fresh talent into the national team setup.
Hailing from Union Saint-Gilloise, Sadiki’s desire to represent DR Congo on the international stage has been met with enthusiasm by Desabre and his coaching staff.
In an interview, Sadiki expressed his unwavering loyalty to DR Congo, emphasizing his deep-rooted connection to the country despite having other options. “An invitation from Belgium? My first choice has always been the DRC,” Sadiki revealed.
“I wanted to turn to the Congo of my own free will despite the reluctance of my parents,” he added, highlighting his firm resolve to don the national colors.
The upcoming gathering in June will provide Sadiki with an opportunity to showcase his skills and passion for the game.
However, the midfielder will have to navigate the rigorous training regimen and impress Desabre and his coaching staff to secure his spot in the final squad for the World Cup qualifiers.

As preparations intensify for the crucial qualifiers, all eyes will be on Sadiki as he aims to make a compelling case for his selection and fulfill his dream of representing DR Congo at the highest level of international football.
