Once again, the Lions find themselves on the shortlist of the best beach Soccer players in the world. They are nominated for the Beach Soccer Stars 2024.
Beach Soccer worldwide has announced the 120 male players, 50 female players and 45 coaches who are in the running for individual distinctions. Beach Soccer Stars is an annual event that has been held since 2014. It rewards the most talented in this discipline. In 2017, Senegal had 2, 3 in 2019, 5 in 2021, 4 in 2022 and 5 in 2023.
Best player: 4 nominees
We find the same Lions nominated in previous editions. They are Raoul Mendy, Jean Ninou Diatta, Mamadou Sylla and Seydina Mandione Diagne. All these players competed in the various national team competitions in 2024. Raoul Mendy’s CAN was cut short by an injury. But, to this day, he remains the only Senegalese player to win a trophy at Beach Soccer Stars: revelation of the year 2O21.
Best goalkeeper: Al Seyni Ndiaye nominated
Captain of the national team and who has 180 matches in the selection, Al Seyni Ndiaye has been one of the nominees since 2017. He is also the only Senegalese goalkeeper selected. In 2021, Al Seyni was in the top 3 best goalkeepers in the world.
-Best coach: Ngalla Sylla nominated
Unsurprisingly, Omar Sylla is one of the 45 best coaches in the world. The one who led Senegal to its 8th continental coronation last October is nominated. His good tactics in the final against Mauritania, an opponent who had beaten him in the opening, were congratulated by observers. Used to being nominated for this position, he was in the top 12 in 2021.
The date and location of the Beach Soccer Stars 2024 gala will be announced at a later date.
