Organisation of Football in Congo

The organisation of football in Congo is structured around a hierarchical league system, allowing clubs to progress or regress based on their performances. This system is divided into several levels, ranging from professional football to amateur football.

At the top of the hierarchy is the Congo Premier League, which is the highest level of Congolese football. It brings together the best clubs in the country who compete for the title of Congo champion. The poorly ranked clubs at the end of the season are relegated to the Congo Second Division, which also includes high-level clubs. The best clubs from the Second Division are promoted to the Premier League at the end of each season.

The Congo Third Division, the third level of Congolese football, hosts semi-professional and amateur clubs. The best teams at this level can be promoted to the Second Division, while the less successful ones can be relegated to a lower level.

Beyond the Third Division, the system continues with regional and departmental divisions, highlighting the diversity and richness of Congolese football at all levels of competition.

Precise information on the lower levels of Congolese football is not readily available, but it is clear that football plays a significant role in the country's sporting culture, with numerous clubs and teams across Congo participating at various levels of competition.

The Congolese Football Federation (FECOFOOT)

The Congolese Football Federation (FECOFOOT) is the official body overseeing football in the Republic of Congo. Established in 1962, it is responsible for organizing and developing football at all levels, from amateur football to professional competitions. FECOFOOT also supervises national teams, including the men's, women's, and youth teams. Its role extends to managing the rules of the game, promoting sportsmanship, and overseeing ethics in the sport.

Under the auspices of FECOFOOT is the Congo Football League, which manages the men's and women's professional leagues. FECOFOOT also organizes the Congo Cup, a competition open to all Congolese clubs, from amateur to professional. Beyond competitions, FECOFOOT places a strong emphasis on developing women's football, sports infrastructure, and training programs for players and coaches.
