Senegal was eliminated prematurely from World Cup 2026. The failure is heavy and embarrassing. The failure is all the more difficult as the team had won the title of African champion this winter in Morocco.

What happened?

Senegal lost three matches out of four, including the last defeat against Belgium (3-2 after extra time) on June 16, 2026. This defeat ended the team's hopes of continuing the competition.

Why is this important for Senegal?

Senegal's failure at World Cup 2026 has significant consequences for the team and officials. The focus is on coach Pape Thiaw, who has long held his position without even having signed his contract renewal with the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF).

What's next?

Rumors of a change at the head of the selection are already present. Hervé Renard or Habib Beye could take over. The task is all the more delicate as it does not concern only the sports sector.
