Guy Bukasa, the head coach of the DR Congo U20 national team has named an home-based dominated squad for the 2023 UNIFFAC U20 competition to get underway this Saturday in Kinshasa.
The squad announced on Monday has all-but-one of the players dominated by players plying their trade in the Congolese domestic championship.
Defender Chris Mbede of Aigle Noirs in Burundi is the only abroad-based player retained for the competition.
The timing of the tournament out of the FIFA international break period among other reasons makes it impossible for coach Guy to summon players based in the diaspora.
The likes of Sanga Balende, Saint Eloi Lupopo and AS Maniema Union are all represented in the Congolese squad that have as star man Meshchack Masengo of TP Mazembe.
The Congolese team will use the tournament as preparations aid for the Francophonie games scheduled late this year.
