2026 World Cup Overnight Highlights and Key Moments

Michel Kuka Mboladinga, known as Lumumba, a well-known supporter of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, finally returned to the stands after missing DR Congo's opening match at the 2026 World Cup due to Ebola-related restrictions. After completing quarantine, he was present for Group K’s second game against Colombia last night.

Although DR Congo lost the match, Lumumba stole the show with his passionate presence.
