DR Congo To Be Disqualified From WCQ’s?

Benin national team have reportedly submitted a complaint to FIFA, claiming that DR Congo has broken the FIFA rules during the game in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.

The West Africans have lost 2-0 to DR Congo on Sunday at Stade des Martyrs Stadium, which saw them second in Group J, with only a point behind the Congolese.

However, Benin cited that their opponents have made four substitutions at four different stoppages after the break, while teams are allowed to make up to 5 changes but only during 3 stoppages.

After the protest from the visitors, the Congolese could be handed a ban and find themselves disqualified from the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifying play-offs.

At this stage, Congo has qualified, but could only be dumped out pending the outcomes of the protest to the world football governing body.
