FIFA lift ban on Congo Brazzaville

A ban on Congo Brazzaville competing in international competitions has been lifted, a FIFA statement said on Thursday. 

Congo were suspended last February due to government interference in the administration of football in the central African nation.

This prevented the ‘Red Devils’ playing 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Zambia and Tanzania in March.

Last year, Congo lost away to Zambia and at home to Morocco, and forfeited the points to Niger after a dispute over where the match should be played.
