Congo-Brazzaville coach Sebastien Migne has announced a 24-man squad for the friendly against Guinea-Bissau on 26th March in Amines.

The rich side is dominated by 20 professionals as well as four men with African Nations Championship experience.

Perralund Ndinga, Baron Kibamba and Prestige Boungou are among the “second category” of players selected for the friendly.

Migne said a tough opponent such as Guinea Bissau is what his team needs to prepare for the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Zimbabwe in 7 September this year.

“After the CHAN we’ve got to keep up the standard and have confidence in the players. I know it’s a baptism of fire for me but so be it. Let it be with Guinea-Bissau rather than with Zimabawe,” Migne said.

Red Devils goes into camp on Thursday. The Djrutus will start their training this weekend and they are expected to fly their strongest team.
