France's choice, a setback for Senegal
Andy Diouf, Inter Milan midfielder, has chosen to play for France, a decision that disappoints Senegal's national team, who had hoped to recruit him. The Italian football expert, Abdoulaye Bar Diouf, stated that Diouf will be called up for the next gathering of the French team, now led by Zinedine Zidane.
Why this choice ?
According to Abdoulaye Bar Diouf, Senegal's national team had the opportunity to recruit Diouf when he was at FC Basel. However, the recent controversies surrounding Senegal's participation in the 2026 World Cup have prevented the Senegalese team from competing with the French team in the heart of a binational player with real chances of playing for both teams.
What's next ?
Senegal's national team must now focus on preparing for the 2026 World Cup, without Diouf's presence. Their goal is to qualify for the final phase and make a good impression on the world stage.
Current situation of the Lions
Senegal's national team is currently in 3rd place in the 2026 World Cup ranking, with 3 points, 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses in 3 matches. They have also scored 8 goals and conceded 6.
Last result
The last result of Senegal's national team was a 3-2 loss against Belgium on July 1, 2026.
