Congo's head coach Florent Ibenge has said his team will play to their best capability and hope to go far in the Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea Jan 17-Feb 8.
The Congolese national team, which is training in Cameroon's capital here, drew 1-1 with Cameroon in a friendly match Wednesday, reports Xinhua.
The head coach said at a press conference after the match that his players are less experienced but confident.
He said the Congolese team ranks last among the 15 teams in the qualification for African Cup, so it will be a success if the team doesn't finish last.
The 2015 African Cup was shifted to Equatorial Guinea after Morocco withdrew from hosting it due to Ebola worries.
