Portugal starts the 2026 World Cup with great ambitions and will face the Democratic Republic of Congo in Group K at the start. The first group game sets the tone for both teams.
The Portuguese around superstar Cristiano Ronaldo are among the extended favorites. In addition to the veteran, the team relies on many young, talented players such as strikers Francisco Conceição and Rafael Leão and wants to play an important role in the tournament.
The situation in the DR Congo is completely different: the team is taking part in a World Cup for the first time since 1974 and only for the second time overall. Accordingly, the most important thing for the Congolese is to present themselves well. With Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Yoane Wissa and Edo Kayembe from the Premier League, the team also brings quality.
