DR Congo Will Not Change World Cup Preparations Despite US Ebola Warning The Democratic Republic of the Congo's (DRC) decision to press on with their preparations for the 2026 World Cup, despite a warning from the United States about the risk of Ebola, has raised questions about global health authorities' priorities and preparedness.
The Congolese team has been advised by US officials to isolate for 21 days before arriving in the country, but there's no indication that they plan to change their schedule.
The team is based mostly in Europe, which reduces the risk of exposure but also highlights the challenges of managing a multinational team during an Ebola outbreak.
