Disputes Continue Over Senegal Coach Fee
Senegalese media reports indicate that the Ministry of Sports has refused to pay compensation for the dismissal of the former national team coach, Pape Thiaw, following disappointing results at the 2026 World Cup. It was confirmed that the Senegalese Football Federation is responsible for covering the costs of contracting a new coach if they wish to do so. Football in Senegal has faced a major crisis due to ineffective management by the federation president, Abdoulaye Fall. Coach Pape Thiaw continued working without a contract since last February and even threatened not to participate in the 2026 World Cup until the Senegalese president intervened to resolve the crisis. Additionally, organizational issues and the lack of medical coverage for the national team during the World Cup have sparked speculation about a potential suspension of football activities in the country, as FIFA and CAF prohibit government interference in national football associations.
