Linafoot Ligue 2

Linafoot Ligue 2 also called Vodacom Ligue 2 (for sponsorship reasons), is an annual football competition played by Congolese amateur football clubs and organized by Congolese Association Football Federation. This national competition, created in 2018, is still struggling to win in such a vast country, where the local and provincial championships remain extremely popular.
