 Kondogbia made his debut for the senior team on 14 August 2013 at the age of 20, playing 63 minutes in a 0–0 friendly draw away to Belgium.As all five matches he played for France at senior level were not official, Kondogbia was never cap-tied and was thus still eligible to represent the Central African Republic, for which he qualified through his parents.He received an official call on 31 August 2018 and made his debut on 12 October, starting and acting as captain in a 0–4 away loss to Ivory Coast in a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
