HomeWorld Cup 2026 is complete. This page preserves the final hierarchy filed on 3 June 2026 and the evidence available at that point. Verified tournament penalty outcomes will be added as a separate audit layer rather than rewritten into the original call.
Congo DR penalty taker
Our final filed Congo DR hierarchy for World Cup 2026 had Yoane Wissa first, with Cedric Bakambu as the closest backup.
Who is Congo DR's penalty taker?
Our final filed Congo DR hierarchy had Yoane Wissa first, with Cedric Bakambu next in line.
Yoane Wissa is the strongest DR Congo call because CAF explicitly recorded him scoring the crucial in-match penalty in the AFCON quarter-final win over Guinea. That is still the clearest clean senior spot-kick evidence in the file and it is good enough to move DR Congo into the reviewed bucket now that qualification is confirmed. The confidence stays medium because the national-team sample is thinner than the best UEFA boards and Congo still have experienced attacking alternatives, with Cedric Bakambu the clearest fallback by senior striker status.
If you searched for Congo DR penalty taker, the hierarchy at the top is the final tournament-cycle answer we filed. The evidence trail underneath shows why that order was published.

Why the board looks like this

The internal file stays broader so we can re-check squad context, event timing and backup pressure without turning the page into a raw research appendix.
