Affaire des soirées, sorties clandestines... : l’officier de sécurité de la FSF répond aux accusations
In an interview with the newspaper Les Échos, Djibril Camara, a retired Divisional Police Commissioner of exceptional rank, appointed Security Officer for the Senegalese Football Federation (FSF) in September 2025, discussed his duties, which consist of "managing the overall security of the [FSF] and the national teams, particularly the senior national team, and serving as a liaison between the Federation and the security forces." The security officer indicated that he has already participated in two campaigns with the national team: "the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco and the World Cup in the United States."
Regarding the 2026 World Cup, the security measures put in place for the team's training camp were based on two main pillars. The first concerned external security, with the team's movements escorted by "members of the Bip (Multipurpose Intervention Brigade)" to ensure the physical protection of the players and staff, with the support of "the American police who cleared the way for them with motorcycle officers."
The second aspect concerned internal security at the hotel, where access was subject to "rigorous screening" via badge or accreditation. FIFA had deployed "a detachment of the New York Police Department," supplemented by an "American private security agency." The FSF, having encountered "difficulties obtaining visas for its own local security agents," had hired this private company to secure access to the rooms. The agents were under strict instructions "to allow no one other than the players and technical staff to pass," including "members of the official delegation or federation officials."
When questioned about rumors of parties involving young girls and tensions between players and management, Djibril Camara dismissed these allegations as "baseless and unfounded accusations, aimed simply at destabilizing the national team or the Federation." He asserted that with the existing security measures in place, "no abnormal behavior could go unnoticed" and that "no such incidents have been reported to [him]."
The officer also denied rumors that players were sneaking out, clarifying that they "only had one period of free time," granted the day after the match against France. Outside of that period, "no unauthorized departures were recorded" and "after 10 p.m., you wouldn't see any players in the corridors."
Finally, regarding the accusations of sexual harassment against the team's cook, the newspaper's source declined to comment, explaining that "it's a private matter" and that, not having been a direct witness to the events, he preferred not to comment.
