DR Congo at the Africa Cup of Nations

DR Congo is one of the major participants at the Africa Cup of Nations, having appeared at twenty editions of all AFCON tournaments. They are also one of the most successful teams in Africa, having won the title twice, once in 1968 as Congo-Kinshasa, and again in 1974 as Zaire. However, since then, successes have been elusively fading for the national side of DR Congo, in spite of their frequent participation in the tournament aftermath. Their best result since 1974 was third place in 1998 and 2015.
