A group of approximately nine children are engaged in a soccer game on an unpaved, reddish-brown dirt field in Ngalula, Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the foreground, a child wearing a yellow and black short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, barefoot, dribbles a light brown soccer ball with their right foot, moving leftward. Two other children in light blue shirts and shorts are in the mid-ground, one standing near the left-center, wearing sandals, and another further right, wearing white shoes, appearing to track the play. Three additional children, also in yellow and black shirts, are positioned in the mid-to-background, moving across the field. Another child in light blue attire is visible in the background, walking right. The playing surface is uneven, with patches of damp earth. The background features dense green foliage along the left and center, bordering the field. To the far right, a raised dirt embankment or construction area is visible, with sparse debris and two distant figures. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
