International career

Mandanda was named in the Congo DR squad against France B on 5 February 2008.[9] Mandanda only played in the second half but missed out on a place in the history books as his older brother Steve Mandanda, also a goalkeeper and currently at Olympique de Marseille, only played in the first half for France.
