News, goals, and analysis – only on the official A BOLA app. World Cup The elimination of Senegal from the World Cup, against Belgium, has triggered a series of scandals that are shaking the country’s football federation. The controversy, which began with Pape Gueye’s resignation from the national team, escalated with allegations of parties, alcohol consumption, and excessive spending by members of the delegation. According to the African portal Sport News Africa, the Senegalese national team’s training camp turned into a venue for parties and private gatherings while the players focused on the competition. Allegedly, delegation staff invited friends and content creators to events featuring alcohol, expensive gifts, and extravagant expenses. The atmosphere became so unsustainable that hotel staff repeatedly complained about the noise, which occurred while the team was training and playing. The negligence of some staff members was such that the players had to take care of their own needs, even going so far as to order fast food to the hotel. To make matters worse, an unusual incident involved national coach Pape Thiaw. Just hours before the crucial group stage match against Norway, the coach still did not have a signed contract. The document had to be formalized in a hurry, just before the team left for the stadium, to avoid an embarrassment that could have had serious consequences. On social media, the outrage of Senegalese fans is evident, with many expressing shame over the behavior of the national team’s officials. There is an expectation that more players will speak out and that the federation will issue a statement to clarify the situation and calm tensions, at a time when Senegal can only watch the World Cup on television, with the elimination marked by both the sporting result and institutional shame.
