Ebola Fears Cast Shadow over World Cup Dreams for DR Congo Squad The Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) football players face a daunting task: qualifying for the World Cup while avoiding infection by the deadly Ebola virus.
The DRC squad is currently in Belgium, training within a "bubble" designed to keep them safe from the outbreak that has ravaged their home country.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US has banned entry for non Americans who have been in the DRC, Uganda, or South Sudan within the past 21 days.
