The Leopards will be going to the upcoming showpiece with most of the players that helped the outfit qualify for the tournament
The Democratic Republic of Congo coach Claude Le Roy retained almost the entire group that participated in the qualifying campaign of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
CAF Champions League 2009 and 2010 winners TP Mazembe furnished five players, the highest number of players from a club, to the Leopards, including Caf’s 2009 Best African Player on the continent Tresor Mputu.
Drawn in Group B, DR Congo will open with a clash against Ghana on January 20 at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth.
The Central Africans are returning to the continental scene after six years of absence.
