This image depicts a daytime scene in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, featuring approximately 13 children, predominantly male, ranging from early childhood to pre-teen age, engaged in a ball game on an expansive reddish-brown dirt field. A spherical ball is visible in the air above the central area of the field. Several children wear yellow sports jerseys, some with "DORTMUND 19" visible on the back; others wear light blue or white shirts and shorts. One child in a light blue shirt, positioned in the mid-ground on the left, is captured with an arm raised in a throwing motion. In the background, a cluster of single-story, reddish-brown mud brick residential structures with corrugated metal or thatched roofs are present. Sparse green vegetation and distant mountains or hills are visible on the horizon. The ground is dry, disturbed reddish-brown earth.
