Zambia vs DR Congo: When, How to Watch WAFCON 2025 Group A Final Match
The game will see Zambia face the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in what promises to be an exciting and emotional match between two determined teams.
Fans can watch the match live on CAF's official broadcast partners in Africa, with streaming and updates also available on CAF's website and social media pages. For those in Morocco, tickets are available to attend the match in person at the stadium.
This match carries different goals for each team. For Zambia, the Copper Queens, this is a crucial game. A win could see them finish first in their group, especially if Morocco drops points in their game.
Even a draw might be enough for Zambia to qualify for the quarterfinals, but it would likely place them second in the group.
The team comes into the match full of confidence after a thrilling 3-2 comeback win against Senegal. That victory showed their strength in attack and their ability to recover after a weak start.
Coach Nora Häuptle has said the players are ready and focused on finishing strong.
For DR Congo, the match is more about pride and progress. After two losses, the team no longer has a chance to qualify, but they are determined to finish the tournament with a positive performance.
Coach Hervé Happy said the team showed improvement against Morocco and is learning and growing. The switch to a more defensive 3-5-2 system has helped them stay more organized, and their fast forwards give them the ability to strike quickly on the counterattack.
Even though they have conceded six goals in two games, the coach believes the players are on the right path and wants to show that the future is full of hope. Tags: DR CongoMatchWAFCONZambia
