    By IANS News September 03, 2025 • 17:38 PM View: 1027
    UEFA European U21 Championship: West Ham United’s Aaron Wan-Bissaka is in line to make his DR Congo debut after accepting a call-up from the Leopards for two 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The reigning Hammer of the Year has been included in DR Congo’s squad by head coach Sébastien Desabre and has now formally switched his international allegiance from England to the country of his parents’ birth.

    Croydon-born Wan-Bissaka represented DR Congo at U20 level, appearing against England in a friendly, before switching to the country of his birth and appearing for England at U20 and U21 levels and playing at the 2019 UEFA European U21 Championship finals.

    The former Palace and Manchester United wingback will now embark on a senior career with DR Congo, who are seeking to qualify for the World Cup finals for just the second time, and the first since doing so as Zaire in 1974.
