This image depicts approximately thirteen male children and youths engaged in an informal soccer game on a reddish-brown dirt field in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo. Most individuals wear light blue short-sleeved shirts and shorts, while at least three wear yellow shirts and dark shorts. One child wears a white tank top and dark shorts, and another wears a blue shirt with grey pants. A light-colored soccer ball is visible in the lower right foreground, being advanced by a child in a light blue shirt and white shorts. Several children are barefoot, some wear sandals, and others wear closed-toe shoes. In the background, dense green and brown vegetation, including trees and bushes, lines the field. Behind the vegetation, multiple single-story structures with mud or brick walls and corrugated metal roofs are visible, along with one structure featuring a thatched roof. Distant hills or mountains rise above the horizon. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
