International career
Congré has played on various
2006 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship. He has yet to be capped by the senior national side. Of Guadeloupean descent, he was named to the Guadeloupe national team's preliminary squad to participate in the 2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup, but did not make the final squad. His call-up and participation would have not hindered future selections from France for Congré, as Guadeloupe (a French overseas department) is not a member of FIFA
