Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s switch from England to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is official. The 27-year-old defender has been called up to the DRC’s 26-man squad for June friendlies against Mali and Madagascar. Born in London to Congolese parents, Wan-Bissaka previously represented England’s youth teams but struggled to break into the senior team due to intense competition.
Key Details:
- International Debut: Wan-Bissaka is set to make his senior international debut for the DRC in June.
- Upcoming Matches: The DRC will face Mali on June 5 and Madagascar on June 8.
- Career Background: Wan-Bissaka joined West Ham United from Manchester United earlier this season and has been consistent in his performances.
- Previous Allegiance: He had represented England’s Under-20 and Under-21 sides but opted to switch to the DRC for more opportunities.
This move marks a new chapter in Wan-Bissaka’s career, offering him a chance to play in major tournaments like the Africa Cup of Nations and potentially the 2026 World Cup.
