US authorities have mandated a 21-day quarantine for the Congolese national football team, known as the Leopards, amid concerns related to the Ebola virus outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
This development poses significant challenges for the squad as they prepare for a friendly match against Portugal in Houston. Health restrictions are anticipated to affect the team’s travel and overall readiness.
Upon their arrival in the United States, the Leopards are expected to be placed in quarantine, which could severely impact their preparations for the upcoming World Cup scheduled to commence on June 11.
