A breath of fresh air for football in Kasai-Oriental. The Congolese Association Football Federation (FECOFA) has just unveiled the fate of the Tshikisha stadium located in Mbujimayi. In a publicly released decision, the national football governing body has granted a provisional and conditional approval to this sports infrastructure. This measure is excellent news for clubs in the region, which are now authorized to play their home matches as part of the Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 championships for the 2026-2027 season. However, this authorization does not constitute a blank check. Indeed, FECOFA has accompanied this approval with strict conditions. Local sports authorities and stadium managers must imperatively ensure compliance with current safety standards to guarantee the smooth running of competitions. Furthermore, rehabilitation work on the facility must continue in order to sustainably meet the requirements of modern football. For the supporters of Mbujimayi, this is a significant relief, as the forced removal of local clubs from their respective home bases had weighed on the mobilization and the teams' budgets. While the return to Tshikisha is confirmed for this season, the durability of this approval will depend on the concrete progress of the site's standardization projects. FECOFA will closely monitor the progress of this work to ultimately confirm the total viability of this infrastructure for major national matches.
