The Congo Olympic football team represents

football competitions in Olympic Games. The selection is limited to players under the age of 23, except three overage players. The team is controlled by the Congolese Football Federation.[1]

History

The team was founded in 2011 with the goal of participating in the newly established

Morocco, as well as Guinea and Ghana. Although they finished fourth in the group stage, this experience provided them with valuable lessons.[2] Their matches included a thrilling 3-2 loss to Ghana in the first game,[3] a competitive 3-1 defeat against Guinea in the second game,[4] and a hard-fought 1-0[5]
loss to the Atlas Lions of Morocco in their final match.
