Stanley Pool Championship

Competition for clubs from Brazzaville and Léopoldville (now called Kinshasa), organised by the Fédération de Football Association du Pool, while both Congo and DR Congo (Zaire) were colonies (French and Belgian Congo respectively). It was therefore an international competition though both cities are located close to each other on the Malebo Pool (the current name of the Stanley Pool), a big lake in the Congo river.
