Hammer Arthur Masuaku is all set for his major international tournament debut when the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) gets underway this weekend. Masuaku has been selected in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s squad for Africa’s continental championships, which take place in Egypt over the next four weeks.
Masuaku and DR Congo will start their campaign on Saturday in Group A against Uganda. The 25-year-old netted his first DR Congo goal in their warm-up 1-1 draw with Kenya last weekend, and has three caps for his country to his name.
Following their opener against Uganda, DR Congo will take on Egypt on Wednesday before the group stage comes to a conclusion four days later against Zimbabwe. All three fixtures will be played in Cairo. Sixteen of the 24 qualified nations will progress to the knockout phases, with the tournament culminating in the final at the Cairo International Stadium on Friday 19 July.
Good Luck Arthur!
Hi Hugh – and here I thought that fellow forum members were all wishing Arthur good luck in the Afcon rather than picking up a typo
So as a lone voice “Good luck Arthur”
Not bad for a 5 year old.
I know they say catch them young, but ‘5-year-old’? Wow.
He is a big boy for t!
He is a big lad for 5!
