Man says DR Congo must be disqualified
The individual, @slay_jimmy, explained that DR Congo went against FIFA rules and, because of this, there should be serious consequences.
He went on to add that if FIFA does not act, other teams might commit the same violations without facing penalties, unless FIFA takes a bold step by punishing the Democratic Republic of Congo.
He said:
"DR Congo CLEARLY went against FIFA rules and there should be repercussions beyond fines. If not, any other country will repeat the same crime knowing money can save them."
As a result of what he believes that DR Congo violated FIFA rules, he said the team must be penalized and disqualified from playing in the 2026 World Cup.
