Accusations de dérives au Mondial 2026 : Abdoulaye Fall saisit le Procureur
The Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) has decided to break its silence to denounce what it calls "serious media excesses following the national team's participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup." The federation is targeting an article by Sports News Africa, which Seneweb also widely shared, entitled "World Cup for Federals in the USA: Gala evenings, vintage liquor, and 'ladies' on the menu." According to the federation, the content of this publication "peremptorily accuses FSF officials of extremely serious behavior, completely contrary to the probity, ethics, and dignity of their positions."
In response to these allegations, the federation "formally and categorically contests the veracity of these false claims, whose sole purpose is to discredit the institution." Believing that this "coordinated media campaign" is causing "major damage to its reputation among the Senegalese people, families, FIFA, CAF, its economic partners, and official sponsors," the FSF has chosen to take "the strongest possible legal action."
The federation's response was immediately translated into concrete legal actions. The FSF, "acting through its President, Mr. Abdoulaye FALL, and through one of its advisors, Mr. Mohamed SEYDOU DIAGNE, Attorney at Law, filed a formal criminal complaint today, Friday, July 3, 2026, with the Public Prosecutor at the High Court of Dakar."
The legal action initiated is based on "Articles 255, 258, 260, and 262 of the Penal Code, as well as the provisions of the Press Code." The offenses specifically targeted by the federation include "defamation" and "the dissemination of false news." To allow for a "comprehensive preliminary investigation," the administrative body states that it has provided the Public Prosecutor's Office with all the necessary evidence to "identify and prosecute all the perpetrators and accomplices of these defamatory publications."
