Ajax Defender Jorthy Mokio Dumps Belgium for DR Congo, Eyes World Cup Debut

Jorthy Mokio, the talented Ajax Amsterdam defender, has made a stunning decision to switch his national team allegiance from Belgium to DR Congo. This move comes despite his previous debut for the Belgian national team, and he’s now set to join the Leopards for upcoming international fixtures, including the highly anticipated World Cup .
Mokio, who has recently extended his contract with Ajax until 2031, is eligible to make this change under FIFA regulations, which permit players to switch nationalities under specific conditions. This bold decision could lead to his first call-up for DR Congo, and fans are eagerly awaiting his potential debut.
The 23-year-old’s choice is not unprecedented, as other players have made similar switches in the past. For instance, Michel-Ange Balikwisha and Matthieu Epolo recently switched from Belgium to DR Congo, and they’re now part of the Leopards’ squad for the World Cup qualifiers .
