I don’t think anyone understands how heartwarming it is seeing my country on all the media outlets from your BBCs and ITVs to your Hypebeast and Complex. I love Congo man.
This made me want to cry. I would’ve never thought in a million years I’d see my country on the biggest stage of them all. Proud of them regardless what happens ❤️🇨🇩
So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas
Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.
so instead of showing the world cup opening ceremony i expect the bbc crew to give everyone watching a lecture about ethics and human rights like they did in 2022
The World Cup is meant to unite the world, yet ahead of 2026 World Cup we’re discussing shootings, visa restrictions, and fans being unable to attend. Qatar faced a ridiculous amount of scrutiny, but now many of the same voices are silent. The double standard is hard to ignore.
I hate that the World Cup is in America. From Time Zones to how they’ve not embraced the world’s biggest sporting event. They should expedite it to Europe right now.
Haiti and Congo share a lot of history and culture.
A bunch of Haitians moved to the Congo in the 60s as teachers and engineers to help the country set up after Congos independence.
Les Léopards 🇨🇩
