Alain Giresse : «Au Mondial, le Sénégal peut atteindre au moins les…»
Africa has ten teams qualified for the World Cup, which opened this Thursday in Mexico, co-host of the final tournament with the United States and Canada. In this situation, the continent has the opportunity to send other countries to the semi-finals, a feat never before achieved by African nations, previously accomplished by Morocco in 2022 in Qatar. This is the conviction of Alain Giresse, former coach of the Lions of Teranga, expressed in an interview published this Thursday in L'Observateur.
The French coach believes he knows what kind of performance is within reach for Pape Thiaw's men. "Senegal has the potential to reach at least the semi-finals," he declared. "Of course, we know that there can be unforeseen events and situations during matches, but intrinsically, the potential is there."
Beyond Senegal, Giresse sees four other African countries "achieving great results" at this World Cup: he cites Morocco, Algeria, South Africa, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. "We see that African teams are increasingly displaying a level that is approaching the top and best world rankings. [...] In any case, if these teams are here, it's because they are among the best nations in Africa," concludes the former French international.
