The iconic DR Congo superfan Michel Kuka Mboladinga, widely known as ‘Lumumba’, has officially been included in the country’s FIFA World Cup delegation.
The decision reportedly followed a special request from the national team players, which was fully approved by President Félix Tshisekedi.
As part of the arrangement, all his flights, accommodation, match tickets and visa expenses will be fully covered.
Lumumba first rose to prominence during the AFCON 2025 tournament in Morocco, where he captured the admiration of football fans across Africa for his unwavering loyalty and unique style of support.
