Soccer: DRC’s team will be exempt from the US’ Ebola-related entry ban

# Soccer: The US and FIFA are working to ensure the Democratic Republic of Congo’s team can enter America for the World Cup. The country has banned non-Americans who have visited the DRC, Uganda or South Sudan in the last 21 days from entry due to the Ebola outbreak. The DRC has already scrapped a planned training camp in the capital of Kinshasa. US officials say the team will train in Europe ahead of the tournament, which means they will be exempt from the Ebola-related entry ban.
