Congo's iconic fan Michel Nkuka Mboladinga made his first 2026 World Cup appearance in Guadalajara.
The fan performed as a living statue of Patrice Lumumba for the entire 90 minutes.
Lumumba was the first Prime Minister of an independent Congo, playing a key role in ending colonial rule.
Nkuka Mboladinga previously missed key qualification matches due to visa and quarantine challenges.
