Daring Club Motema Pembe is a Congolese football club from the capital Kinshasa . The multiple national title holder won the African Cup Winners' Cup in 1994 .
history
The club was founded on February 22, 1936 under the name Daring Faucon , but was renamed CS Imana in 1949 . After the Democratic Republic of the Congo became independent in June 1960, the club subsequently participated in the national championship and became the first documented champion in 1963. In the following years the club belonged together with the AS Vita Club and Tout Puissant Mazembe to a trio that dominated the championship. Accordingly, these three teams also formed the backbone of the Zairean national team and the squad at the 1974 World Cup .
After the two competitors had already been successful on a continental level in the late 1960s and 1970s, in particular by winning the African Cup of Champions Club , Imana Kinshasa managed to win the African Cup Winners' Cup against Kenya Breweries FC in 1994 . The subsequent game for the CAF Super Cup was lost against the Tunisian representative Espérance Sportive de Tunis .
