Scandal denounced after Senegal-France!
After Senegal’s defeat against France (3-1) on the first day of the 2026 World Cup, serious problems were reported among the Téranga Lions.
On a sporting level, there is still no fire in Senegal after the defeat against France (3-1) Tuesday evening in New York. The Lions of Teranga are currently preparing for their meeting against Norway, where it would be a good idea to take at least one point to avoid finding themselves in an unfortunate position in the race for the round of 16.
Behind the scenes, however, there is the beginning of a fire among the African champions. Friday evening, the SportNewsAfrica media revealed “a series of major dysfunctions and choices dictated by the Senegalese Football Federation” Who “threaten to implode the den in the middle of the American tournament.”
First of all, there is a concern about bonuses not being paid to players. The latter are getting annoyed, because the FSF already received several months ago large sums after the victory in the final of the African Cup of Nations, as well as bonuses paid by Fifa after qualifying for this World Cup.
The coffers of the Senegalese Federation would therefore be well filled. And yet, Pape Thiaw and his men would not be satisfied with the hotel in which they are staying for this competition, “absolutely not up to the standards of a team of this rank”according to SportNewsAfrica.
No cook, no contract for Pape Thiaw, and meanwhile…
The Lions of Téranga were much better off during the CAN, near Tangier (where the cost of housing is certainly not the same). In relation to this African Cup, the Senegalese must also do without their chef, who is not traveling to the United States. As a result, some players would place a few orders outside to sustain themselves.
During this time, not everyone would be on a diet.
“It has been noted that some members of the Federation live on a big train, indicates SportNewsAfrica.
The latter brought their families and personal entourage to the United States en masse, constituting a bloated and budget-consuming delegation… entirely at the expense of the FSF. »
Finally, the most spectacular aspect concerns Pape Thiaw. The coach has not been paid for five months, and his contract has even ended… without any concrete agreement having been found. The situation seems explosive, and if it would not have disrupted the life of the group for the moment, these are clearly not ideal conditions for preparing for a moment as important as a World Cup. The Senegalese Federation is playing with fire…
