WASHINGTON: Due to an Ebola outbreak in their country, members of Congo’s national soccer team must isolate before entering the US for the World Cup. Andrew Giuliani, executive director of the White House Task Force for the World Cup, confirmed to ESPN on Friday that the Congolese delegation must maintain a bubble where they currently are training in Belgium and isolate for 21 days or risk being denied entry. Congo is in Group K for this summer’s World Cup in North America.

The DRC team cancelled the Kinshasa leg of its pre-World Cup training due to health restrictions.

The US has banned non-Americans who have visited DR Congo, Uganda or South Sudan in the last 21 days from entry.
