If it were up to the Senegalese Football Federation, Senegal would not play the 4th day of the World Cup qualifiers against Sudan in Libya. Plunged into instability, this country hardly offers adequate conditions for such an important match, reports SourceA.

For the 4th day of the World Cup qualifiers, the Lions will play a very important match against Sudan, leader of group B with 10 points, while Senegal occupies second place, with 8 points. This very important meeting was discussed at a meeting of the Executive Committee last Friday. And according to our colleagues, Senegalese football leaders would not like to see Sadio Mané and his partners play this crucial meeting in a territory shaken by war and instability. “Me Augustin Senghor’s team will use all possible means to prevent the match from being held in Libya. Failing this, the Senegalese Football Federation would require all security guarantees,” specifies SourceA.

According to a source, Me Augustin Senghor’s team will use all possible means to ensure that the match is not held in Libya. Failing this, the Senegalese Football Federation would require all security guarantees to properly protect the players, our players in particular, reports SourceA. All in all, it is clear that there is a chance of seeing the match played in Libya. Indeed, Sudan received the DRC at the Martyrs stadium in Benina, Libya, Tuesday, November 21, during the match on the 2nd day of the qualifiers for the United States-Canada and Mexico 2026 World Cup, according to SourceA. In addition to the DRC, the Sudan vs Togo match took place three days earlier on the same Benina playing area, during the first day of the qualifiers, according to SourceA.
