World Cup Football

Zaire

The first black African nation to play in a World Cup finals was Zaire. When Zaire qualified for the 1974 finals, the Zairian president promised each player a house, a car and free holidays. All these offers were withdrawn when Zaire lost all three matches, scored no goals and conceded 14.
Where is Zaire? It is now called the Democratic Republic of Congo. Check out this map.
