Senegalese Football Faces New Legal Challenge Over Pape Thiaw
The Senegalese football suffers a new crisis due to a dispute between the government and the football association over the contract of former coach Pape Thiaw. The Ministry of Youth and Sports refused to approve an extension of his contract and a salary increase, despite him signing it during the 2026 World Cup. This has complicated matters financially and legally, threatening to escalate the issue to the courts. Thiaw had signed a new contract that included a monthly salary of 30 million West African francs, a signing bonus of 120 million francs, and a percentage of FIFA rewards. However, disagreements over funding keep the entitlement uncertain, amid increasing pressure to resolve the dispute.
