TOPSHOT - Congolese supporters dressed in the colors of the Democratic Republic of Congo's national flag celebrate the Leopards' equalizing goal in a street in Bunia at night during a FIFA World Cup match between DR Congo and Portugal in Bunia, Ituri Province, Democratic Republic of Congo, on June 17, 2026. Ituri, a remote province in northeastern Congo, is at the epicenter of the 17th Ebola outbreak, declared on May 15 in the DRC. The virus has infected 837 people and caused 196 deaths so far, according to the latest official figures. In the city of Bunia alone, 215 cases of infection have been confirmed, while the DRC's testing capacity is limited. The scale of the health crisis is still unknown, scientists, aid workers, and international health authorities acknowledge. But for 90 minutes of the match, some of the roughly 100 million inhabitants say they were able to escape the worries linked to the epidemic, the conflict in the east of the country, and the violence of armed groups.
