João Neves’ Rival Now Faces Him on the Field

Senny Mayulu, a talented young midfielder, has made a significant decision regarding his international football future. The 19-year-old player has chosen to represent the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), honoring his parents’ heritage. As a result, he is currently undergoing the process of obtaining his Congolese passport.
Choosing the DRC Over France
Mayulu was born in Le Blanc-Mesnil, France, which gave him the opportunity to represent Les Bleus. However, he prioritized his African roots and decided to play for the Congolese national team, known as the Leopards. This choice highlights a growing trend among young players choosing to honor their heritage in international sports.
Upcoming Matches and World Cup Participation
