Maniema Union
Club · DR Congo · Ligue 1
«Greens and Blacks»
Ricky Tulenge pulled on the national shirt nine times and went to the 2016 African Nations Championship while turning out for Maniema Union between 2021 and 2023.
The club took its name and its base in Kindu at the start of 2005.
The Linafoot title has stayed out of reach — a fifth-place finish in 2024-25 is as close as the league form has come — but Maniema Union have kept knocking on the door of continental competition, taking their cup pedigree into the CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup. The green shirt and yellow shorts are known at Stade Joseph Kabila Kabange, in Kindu, as 'Verts et Noirs'.
Three Congo Cups in three separate campaigns, 2007, 2017 and 2019, remain the measure of what a team from Maniema has managed to build.
